Default Had to crash my car

I had to crash the Z to keep from getting broadsided or T-boned. I had to swerve dodge an old lady who was friggin flying at me. I think the pics speak for themselves. It was like BANG SCREECH WHAAAAA BOOM SILENCE then Bam into the canal. I jumped the curb Dukes of Hazard style all 4 wheels off the ground, Very hairy day. So far we are at 12000.00 in damage. Basically everthing in front of the doors and engine is new. They also replaced 3 wheels and tires the rockers and the subframe connector under the car. I have no idea why they (Progressive) did not total it except for the fact that no suspension parts were bent scratched or damaged. I just put a new JWT clutch n flywheel in about a month ago and would have hated to loose that 800.00 bucks. So here are the pics. The funny thing is I was only rollin at about 5 mph when I was hit. The force spun me and slung me into the canal. Crazy $hit!!

The cops couldn't stop with the sidways jokes. It was kinda funny in a strange way. The gxp in the back ground is my other car. And no I was not racing just in the wrong spot at the right time. You never really know how much you love your Z until it is ripped from your fingers. I miss that car and I can't wait until I get it back. To thing I came so very close to trading it on a 08 G37.
