ok well here it goes...i was going home from work/sheetz at 12:30 last night...minding my own business...going the speed limit...and im come up to a pretty long straight road...continue my journey home and i see some sort of big truck in the middle of the road straying twards me...he keeps going more and more over the double yellow and i swerve left to avoid a head-on and then i see a telephone pole right on the side of the road so i jack the wheel back to the fight and the rear of my car kicked out in the gravel, missing the pole by a couple inches, the car goes slideways as i try to counter-steer....into one tree, the car spins into another tree, a fence, some wet bush, another tree (not 2 trees as stated before but 3), then across the road and sat in someone's lawn. i move the air bags, look out my passenger window, see the truck sitting in the road (in my lane) and then he just takes off...didn't really catch the license plate...xxx-5345 or something along those lines. the truck was some sort of old chevy or ford or something...i got my camera developed and will be scanning the pix soon...probably tonight...as for me, i'm ok...a little butt hurt about my car but physically ok...lump on my head and bruised wrist...hopefully i can buy the car back and put the brembos, engine/trans/dif.... in a 240 and get another z....

So the guy just left? What a d-bag! Glad your ok man. You may want to edit the story real fast. you have that you swerved left, and saw the telephone pole, the jerked it back to the left. Looks like you swerved left, saw the pole, and jerk right...

worst accident I'v seen on the forums yet...by a member. Its good to see your ok especially after the looks of the car. Good luck on finding the a$$ hat driver of the truck....almost sounds like it was done on purpose and had himself a little laugh after seeing you wreck.

fixed the post...there was a lot of steering involved in a short ammount of time...i shoulda just said that...but anywho, going to talk to the insurance guy tomorrow, hopefully they'll give me over 14,000...i had a guy coming to buy the car for 16,500 in two weeks...i'm thinkin about putting flowers and crosses at the tree and like a little note that says "replaced but never forgotten" (obviously refering to the Z) so when the guy drives past again, he'll think he killed me...

as for the truck...they took what i had, which really was vague considering i was completely like in shock about what happened and just like saw him as he drove away, and said they'll keep a look out or look further into this matter or something along those lines...but there are a million old pick up trucks where i live and nothing really will be done...even if they find the guy who actually did it, they can't prove anything because i didn't get his WHOLE plate and he could just say he has no clue what they're talking about...
