Default TOTALED!!! :( My 350z is Gone! I will miss it!

My 2003 Touring was hit on the drivers side by a Suburban Saturday Jan. 17th as I was driving home from running errands. As soon as I was hit, the car lost control and I was thrown into a telephone pole 20ft away.

NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED, THANK GOD! I have whiplash that is almost gone, and a few scratches and bruises. I made a micro-site to tribute to her (I called her Black Betty after the song). http://www.avaladirect.com/accident

Since this might be my last post here on MY350z.com, I just wanted to thank everyone for all the advice, tips, used parts and support everyone on this forum has given me. This forum is probably the best I have ever been a part of.

So now it's time to move on. Unfortunately, I am looking for another car. But the catch is, it cannot be a coupe, so in retrospect, no 350z or no 370z. I have narrow my choices down to 2 sedans. What do you guys think, 2004-2008 Acura TL or 2004-2008 Audi S4. Since we all share (or shared) great taste in cars, I really value your opinion.

Thanks.

No, I was going straight, the suburban was making a left through 3 lanes and I was in the 3rd lane. Two cars stopped in the other lane to let him take a left, and he hit me. It was 100% his fault, and I got everything taken care of for the car.

The other drivers insurance ended up giving me $18,000 for a 2003 with 46,000 miles. Pretty good I thought.

Your Z took a freakin' pummeling & you walked away. Something to be thankful for indeed.

Thumbs up

You don't want a 370z? You don't have to give up just because your 03 got killed.

Stay with family or even get 07-08 350z.
