Angry bastard ran a red light and hit my Z

so this dumb mother****er runs a red and gets t-boned in the intersection...both cars proceed to slide across the intersection into me (who was stopped at a red) and slam into the side of my brand new (well, almost...3 months old) 350Z. I cannot even begin to explain how upset I am about this.







so pissed.

looks mainly superficial, unlikely that it damaged the frame or anything too important. replace rim, body panels, and maybe align the suspension.

your good as new. could have been much much worse.

sucks anyway tho.

actually the first estimate at a cheap shop was $3968.58, i'm taking it to a better shop to be estimated tomorrow and it'll probably be AT LEAST $5k there.

I'm sorry man, that really really sucks. And dont get me wrong, Im glad you're okay, and no one was seriously hurt...but MAN i would be so mad if that happened to me ! Just cause its even more frustrating when something like this isn't your fault. Good luck with everything man, stay safe.

Default I know how you feel!!!!!!

Same thing happened to me at the light, but mine was green. Not looking where he was going tore up my rear backside. This happened on 7-23-03, I am still without a car. His insurance company sent me a rental check for 10 days, I sent this damn thing right back to them. OH, they wanted to get me a pontiac SUNFIRE , go figure. Now I am getting me an attorney. I hope you have better luck than I have had. I know I am still sick. My hold up now is some kind of bracket, I dont have a clue to what they are talking about. So good luck!

Good luck with your legal thing Michelle, and in the meantime, tear the sh*t out of that Sunfire.
