well thats all of them, enjoy? I believe my car is totalled because of the right front tire.... And I was going to keep this car for a long time, as long as I could.... well, I guess I did. only 1800 miles on her...

 

Wow I have to say thats quite spectacular looking. Again I'm glad to see you're alright and came out unhurt.

 

I think the car is fixable. I don't see any roof damage. The front end is repairable.

 

Jeff,

I am sorry to hear of your lost. Glad to hear that you are okay. From the looks of the pics you was very blessed. Hopefully its just the axle, hood and fenders that needs to be replaced. The most important thing, is that you are okay, and no one got hurt.

 

Poor tree

 

Please, attend a school like BMW training etc.

With a car like that things happen. Just be more careful in the future.

 

Could you be more immature/inconsiderate? This is no joking matter.

 

well there is no axle up front, and rear looks fine, appears as tho all damage was limited to the front, but looks can be deceiving, had to jump some curbs and whatnot, so there could be lots of damage underneith.

front suspension is toast atleast on the right side.

the question really is if the engine is viable. that will determine whether its totalled.

on an offtopic note, PM me if you feel like yankin the headlights out and mailing them to me(or peices of it actually), Id love to have em.

if you can find the right one that is. heh I cant see it.

 

Pic 7 really tells the story of how fast you were going. I presume the whole accident was under brakes?

, looks fixable...just cost you a monza!

Take some lessons and speed on the race track next time. You'll be surprised how easy it is to get cold feet when you front up to a track with no limits and plenty of good drivers.

Learn the right way and you'll love the Z. I mean you have to admit it's a pretty safe car. You wiped out the front end yet the cabin looks untouched.

Some cars would be all bent up if they hit a tree with that force.

 

It is an unfortunate thing to happen. I'm sure you feel lousy. $hit happens, usually because we don't make the proper decisions at the moment. Let this be a major learning expierience. Get the car fixed/replaced and remember what you did wrong every time you take another corner.

How fast were you really going before everything became a blur?

 

Wow, those are some striking pictures. At the very least, you're not hurt - you know what they say about accidents that you walk away from.

I'm curious, though - about how fast were you going when you lost control on the turn? It looks like there was quite a bit of collateral damage in addition to the damage suffered by your car.

 

I was looking forward to seeing you at a local Z meet in SJ some time this fall and hope you can get her repaired. Glad everyone is ok. The Z is a lot of car for all but experienced sports car drivers - its more than enough for me. The urge to test its limits and see what you got and show it off is huge too. You can get into trouble easily. But, wisdom comes from experience and experience comes from making good and bad judgements. Hope you can learn from the experince and that a chance to show how much wiser you've become will come your way soon.

Wow thats actually worse than what you described, you'll be lucky if your parents can even afford insurance on you now. Damn at least your alright, and ya how fast were you going?

 

Maybe the tree comment is a little inconsiderate but the other is funny and makes a good point. He already proved and admitted that his Z was to much for him and should understand why his parents want him to get a safer/slower car. While he has shown that he learned from his mistake he's crazy if he thinks his parents should buy him another sports car. For me as a teenager i'd be lucky if my parents let me drive around even a geo metro after an accident with my new $30k (hypothetical) car.

And from the speed it looks like he was traveling any FWD car would have been totaled too because he would of driven straight through the corner. That said i'm really sorry for what happened and hope this lesson learned stays with you.

 

shouldnt traction control have helped?

 

Dude how fast were you going? Those pics are nasty bad. Glad you are ok. The car is worth 30 grand so it will take alot of damage to total it out. From the pics it looks like the frame is ok but the question will be the engine damage. Good Luck. Later.
