damn it! i knew that was going to come up....

 

I'm guessing that because you were doing donuts in the snow your VDC was off? And then you forgot to turn it back on when leaving?

I have a G35 and I drive it all winter with VDC ON. It helps a lot

No problem having fun in the snow, just don't forget the magic buttton....

 

no just turned and the back end just kinda swung out cause i was on a slight hill. Hit the breaks but they were useless at that point. I really do know how it happened...i had a crap load of room...there must have been ice under the snow

 

I would say learn from it and keep it off the snow.

 

Doesn't look like it would cost more than 1500...idk i'ma noob.
It's the time for you to get drifting aftermarket parts

 

man so sorry for you. i used to be very close with those people who work on the body shop and i saw many car like that in that days.If you are in SOCAL and get it fixed in the bodyshop that i used to hang around, i would say its about 3000-4000k.It seems like the door is not damage and the rear bumper is not that bad,you can actually rebuild it as well as the skirt.
Was the wheel bend anyway ? If the wheel was push inside,there's no way it will drive the same.

 

when a stoppable force meets an immovable object

 

Are you kidding? I got 5 windshield chips, a one inch hood scratch, and numerous nose divets from some gravel that fell off a truck 15 car lengths in front of me on the freeway, and it was $1750 in repairs... You are looking at $3-4k in damages there... Even if it were a VW bug....

 

very true. I had a car knock my rear quarter in a very little bit - maybe 1/10th of the damage of that And the best I could get it fixed and painted for was like $500.

You have alot of damage and need a new panel and also probably some rear bumper and driver door damage from what I can see.

$1,500 in your dreams....
a few thousand easy

sorry to see OP
driving in the snow w/ a 350Z = avoid at all costs.

but honestly WTF would you be going more than 5 MPH in parking lot snow for?!?!

15-20 in the snow and trying to turn. You kinda had it coming.

 

wow that is a big damage my g35 got totalled
person cut me off and stopped infront of me
but eh thats can be repaired just need a new quarter piece
good luck on the repair!

 

 

Another reason why I store my Z away for the winter.
Sorry to hear about the accident.

 

So today the garage called me...when they cut off the old fender they found more damage so its going to be in for a little longer than expected BUT!

They are giving me a new bumper because a clip broke which is good because there was stress markes on that one and it looks like the previous owner melted it alittle around the license plate area some how and they will be fixing a dent i had on my hatch that was put there by the previous owner because the painters needs to put paint on that area and he doesnt like painting over stuff like that so what evs...thanks

Good that has come out of this:

Bird **** stain on the wrecked fender = gone
Hatch Dent = fixed
Crappy Bumper = replaced
+ new paint!

 

What$ the e$timate ?

 

Now i wish someone would just bump (just a little tap) my front bumper and crack it so i dont have to pay get a new one

 

Before they found more damage...$5200 its probably up around $5800 now

 

Edmunds says a 2003 is worth $10,000. It is hard to believe the damage is 50% of the car's value.

No wonder why they total cars out so quickly. Repair costs are outrageous.

 

Really? an 03 touring with 50k on it?

 

NO =(
