sorry to hear about you and the Z but the way that looks, the Z would have been safe enough for a head on collision at that speed, truck or not(as long as its not a semi), hopefully things workout

I completely believe you. I had someone do the very same thing to me the other night on my way home from a late night at work. The truck was coming straight for me and I was on a bridge so there was no exit route. I ended up having to gun it to get off the bridge just before the truck got me. Thank God for the ability to accelerate. The driver had to be either drunk or crazy. I called 911, but don't know if they actually found the person. The only thing I had was a vehicle description. Like you, I was pretty shaken up by the whole thing. It's hard to think about identifying the offender when your trying to save your hide ;o)
Glad you're ok and hope you get out of this what your car is worth. btw, I would ask them to pay you what the guy was going to give you for the car. I'd say that's market value if there ever was one...

i didn't expect him to stay honestly...like if he was drunk, and i died, he'd be FCUKED!!! but i guess i would expect a "hey are you ok? yes? ok bye"
That is quite a hit you took. I'll bet that you are pretty sore after that. I'm glad that you are okay.

the house is so lucky those trees were there. those things were like house gaurds. imagine if they werent there, you would have had juice stains on your seats from plowing into the kitchen.
Same **** happen to me in slow motion . I was going like ten miles an hour down my friends street at like two and his neighbor comes on the street and slowly goes toward my car I was literaly waiting for him to realize what he is doing and then he doesnt so I slowly pull into the dirt instead of having the slowest head on collision ever recorded and getting him a DUI. I pull around afterwards to make sure he pulls in his driveway, and the douche ended up falling asleep with the car door open in his driveway after he rear ended his other car(found that part out a couple of days later)
I swear like 60% of people driving trucks after 9pm are intoxicated

but i JUST heard from the insurance company 5 minutes ago and they said $11,600 is what they "want" to give me....because compairable cars in the area go for that price...i told them to give me the list of those compairable cars and i'll pick one out, then they should right that guy the check (knowing that there is no way you can get a z for $11,000) and they said they don't buy/sell cars...SO i told them i'm not taking a penny under 15,000 and now i gotta do some homework...if anyone reading this could post up any adds for 03-04 track ed. z's or any edition really...with higher millage just post em in here so i can print out like +40 adds and be like...NO WHERE can you find a z for that price let alone in "my area" or what ever that means...do i need to consult a lawyer??
