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.

Unless your getting the AWD TL I would say you'd be happier with the S4 imo

350Z's are dropping like flies. The total number can only go down now. 350Z rarity is inversely proportional to total number of 350Zs.
