Default I can't drive my 350z for 2 months!

Last Saturday, I broke my collar bone while running through some basic procedures with the National Guard. Now I find it almost impossible to sit up in the morning; nonetheless, drive my 350z! The medic said I have to wait 4-6 weeks before I'm able to do anything active again. Consider yourself lucky if you get to drive your Z today!

Good luck on hitting closer to the 4 than 6 week mark!
I don't know what I'd do, my only car is a stick, and my gf has never driven one before

Not a good story behind how I broke it. Basically, I was running with all my gear on and slipped (it was raining).

A Marine would get up and run with a broken collarbone. And carry his buddy’s pack also.

Sorry to hear about your accident. I broke my collarbone twice when I was younger, You should be feeling better in a week or two, at least good enough to go for a cruise. Sleeping with a broken collarbone is a b!tch, isn't it? I was never able to sleep on my back, and that's the ONLY position that you can lay in. I don't envy you, the collarbone isn't a fun one to break. Wishing you a quick recovery.

Good luck with recovery. 2 months isn't bad though at least you can look at it. I haven't seen mine in 3 months drove it for 16 days and prior to that was 7 months. Someone always has it worse than you. And after june I won't see it for 2 years.
