Default 3 weeks into owning my Z and I already got hit!

Well, I was driving down the LIE (main HW here on Long Island) It was about 7:40am. Good amount of traffic. Lil rain. I was driving and there was a slight sudden stop. I looked around and everything was ok and 2 seconds later....BAM!!! I was dazed at first. I thought I did something lol. A few seconds go by and I think to myself..."****, I just got rear ended" A bit of rage starts to build up inside of me. I get out and see what happend. A new 3500series Dodge pickup hit the 19yr old girl behind me and the girl hit me, I hit the lady in front of me and she hits the person in front of her. When I got out, the car that the lady in front of me hit leaves the scene. It was a silver Tiburon. We didn't care....but my bumper was scratched up in the rear and the front had some scratches. The girl behind me had all the damage. She needs a new rear end. N E ways, i'll have pics up tomorrow. Nothing bad...but still. I just got the car!

A friend of mine ran into a wall and got a minor scratch on his 300zx that he bought that week. I popped my tire minutes later on a curb. It also happened to be Friday the 13th. . .

Time for an aftermarket front/rear combo. But don't do it without the sideskirts, though.
