Default A Z is gone.......

Well to make a long story short.....lol. I hit 2 no parking signs and a palm tree after hitting the curbs. A little after the finally stopped spinning the same palm tree i hit decided to fall on me...........

Do you think this Z is even fixable? Airbags went off and my spare tire was pretty much in my passenger seat.

No way-- wtf -- You would not want that back from the body shop even it it had half the damage in the pick. Glad to see you walk away from that one.

Damn, another black Z taken out . Good to see you lived...never thought I would say that twice in the same 2 minutes.

Im gonna say no....definetly no...its not fixable...even if it were I would say eff that and just replace it after you get your insurance compensation for it.

Good to see those rims held up fairly well for being slammed into a curb. But no, I would never consider rebuilding that pile of metal.

Dude, half of the car is missing. Of course isn't fixable. That's a massive wreck though, and I'm glad you're alive to talk about it.

At least he's being a man and owning up to being dumb instead of blaming the car like 90% of the crashes out there.

As long as no one got hurt you can take some good away from this.

Be safe out there guys.

How many miles did you put on the car before you wrecked it?
Do you have any HPDE experience?
Autocross?
What kind of tires?
