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!!

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.
