Default Crunched....

After being a 350z owner for nearly 5 months, and with my excitement making me spend almost every extra penny on my car, I have to let you all know that one less 350 is on the road these days....

on Friday night, coming home from workreally early in the morning, a person in an unknown car was speeding recklessly down a one way street, the wrong way. I turned onto the street and saw only headlights coming at me. I swearved to miss them but being blinded by them, I smashed my car into a parked car. By the time I came to my sences and pushed the crunched door open to get out, I was covered in blood, and the police were already there. The car, totaled, was towed away, and after the police and ambulance left me there, I just kinda stood there, with no Z....

Other driver had obvisouly fled the scene when he saw me crash. Witnesses only had to stick around for a minute to let police know what happened, and they too had not stuck around after they realized I was still alive.

Hmm.. People suck, and not having my favorite car ever in my life outside waiting for me to get back in it and drive away, sucks even more.

No pics? There's no excuse for not having a camera on you at all times in this day and age.

Oh yeah, sorry about your loss.

Try to think about your next car.. I just got into a hit and run also and share your pain.

My avatar was me letting off steam after the accident.

couldn't you have called friends/family to come get you? I can't imagine you were there just standing alone with no ride back home? How did you get back home anyways? Sorry to hear for your loss none the less. Can happen to anyone of us.

well this happened one block from my apt complex in south beach. I did take a few shots with my phone.. I'll get them upped. Geico is telling me they will not cover my car because THEY removed collision from my policy last month. Supposedly, with geico you have to have your car inspected BY GEICO for them to keep your collision on. I am looking into the legalities of this...

That sounds like some BS... I got collision on mine and been with GEICO for 7 months. They never seen my 350z or removed my collision.

Wow man, that really sucks. Look for opportunities from this, not the bad coming from it. Almost anything can be turned into an experiance, and thats all it really is. Try n focus on your opportunities bud, its easy to keep thinking of what was lost. Step one, make sure Geico doesnt fukc you over! Thats BS!
