I'm glad you were okay! That's a horrific looking crash.

There is no excuse for drunk driving. I hope they throw the book at this guy for what he's done.

Sorry to here about the accident. Glad to see that you are ok. A accident like that you would of thought you would of had more injuries. That just goes to show that the Z is a pretty safe car. I hope that DD gets what he deserves.

Good luck with the new Z.

The best part about the Z is the 6 airbags can keep you alive.

Amazing survival story. How the heck are you going to deal with the other driver?

Wow... that's one of the worst accidents I've seen with a Z.

Glad you're OK. That's the main thing. Enjoy the new car when you get it.

That drunk dude... well... Karma will take care of him in the long run.

My god. And the S10 flipped? Geez. How fast were you going, I am guessing about the same?

What a wreck. Amazing that you walked away with only a sprained ankle. Wasn't your time to go that night.
