No, FHP just wrote me an accident report, no citation. They were responding to many accidents at the time, there was a rollover just down the road 
I filed a claim this morning, I have a claim number but have to wait til tuesday before I get a call due to the long weekend.

Wow, good think you're ok tho! Hard to believe that we were all just together on Friday watching Star Trek at the Air/Space Theater at Dulles!
Hope all works out for you........

Just a thought…

Both accidents occurred because you were driving too fast for conditions. The fact that you received no citations does not absolve you of fault. The fact that you fail to recognize your negligence is simply baffling, especially after the first incident where you could have very well caused serious injury to another driver when you impacted with them.
He didn't say "Dude, I was driving and my car just lost control for no reason and now it's totalled". He told the damn truth. I guess it's cause the real Z familia stick together, Mr. Vette.
I say either;
1.) Go fukk with a newb
2.) Give condolences to the lost Z
3.) or GTFO!!!!!!
+1, You can't expect a car to accelerate hard out of a turn unless you properly load the tires with hard braking before turn-in. I'm sorry that you learned this the hard way but they teach this kind of stuff in car control schools. At least you and your friend were able to walk away from the accident.

What satisfaction do you get from giving people **** over this type of situation? I could even understand you talking **** just to be a dick cause I do all the time, but not in this situation.

Let's be honest, he could have come on here ranting because the old lady he ran over caused him to crash his car and there would be some nuthuggers defending him.
Real Z people DO stick together. But we also call a person out and tell them what a cack they are when they wreck their car because they accelerated hard out of a turn with traction off on wet roads at night.
You crash your car because you're a moron? Expect a little reaming. Man up and take it. Just be glad he told the truth and didn't give a bunch of excuses or this probably would have been a lot worse.

The adjuster may look at the car today, so we'll see what happens.
Sorry to hear man, that looks like it was a HARD hit! At least you came out unscathed (for the most part) and so did your passenger.
370Z?
Good luck with the claim hopefully they give you decent money for it.

Sad to say it, but last night at 10pm I wrecked my Z, and it looks to be totalled It happened on I-75 southbound between the gibsonton and apollo beach exits here in Tampa. I downshifted to go around someone in 4th and punched it, the rear end snapped around and instantly got sideways, sending me straight into the guardrail in the median. The rear of the car took the hit and was completely crushed in, the car is pretty much destroyed from the b-pillars back. Unfortunately at night I couldn't tell that the road was just slightly damp, there was no road spray from other cars nor were my wipers on (not raining), so as far as I knew the road was just as dry as when we we got on miles back (did a quick 3-4 blast on the on ramp). Jim (k6750gsxr) was with me in the pass. seat, but he's ok. I on the other hand, busted my bottom lip on the inside

Yeah, with all that power its no surprise to lose traction even with the slightest wet road. I get super paranoid driving my Z on wet roads. Glad you are OK. Sorry to hear about Z loss :*(

The adjuster went out and looked at the car today, he says it's definitely totalled in his opinion. I'll update as I get more info...
Thanks man. See ya @ ZDayZ
