Default and yet another Z goes down

Just got dropped off by the tow truck driver....after getting clipped by an illegal alien who was racing on I-45 and hit me in the right rear quarter panel at 100+. He sent me into multiple 360's across all 4 lanes of I45, where I was fortunate enough to make contact with the Airtex Blvd. overpass concrete wall at 65mph. Needless to say, the Z did not fare too well. She has 3 destroyed aftermarket rims, 3 destroyed quarter panels, two blown tires, one crushed door, and the front left tire was towed in at a 45degree angle....not sure what is frucked up on the suspension. I managed to knock the driver side window out with my head. At least somebody was looking out for me....as all I got out of it was a big knot on my head. I'm sure tomorrow my neck, head and shoulders will feel much worse. But right now, all I wanna do is beat some farking illegal's arze. At least he went to jail for reckless driving and endangerment and will be facing deportation.

The 7 tow truck drivers who showed up all complimented on how well the Z held up to the concrete wall. We should all be proud!!

It seems you failed to mention the wet spot on the driver's seat in your list of damages. Glad you're alright.

Money from where? An illegal alien probably has no money of their own, and I know they didn't have auto insurance, lol. He might get some money from his own insurance company, maybe. But it will all depend on what coverage he has. The minimum coverage for medical is only $10k per person per incident in all states that I know of, which isn't crap if he ends up really needing some medical stuff for a herniated disk or something. That's all most people carry also. I carry $100k, but only because of all the idiots around here. I want to make sure I'm covered.

Damn man I'm sorry to hear that, good thing you made it out alive. Good thing the Z held up enough to keep you safe. I've hit a wall in my old MR2 at 65 before, so I know your pain. Hope everything works with the insurance company!

Glad you're ok. Last night I saw a z that had lost control and hit a telephone pole. Aside from a severely mashed right fender and a missing right wheel the telephone pole looked like it had taken the worst blow. It had been turned into kindling, and the largest piece was about a 5 foot section that was still hanging from the wires above the street. The Z's are pretty tough cars.
