Default I think my Z had it coming :(

So I think my Z had it coming, it all started Monday after the hard rain and wind on sunday night. Our roof antanna almost owned my car, luckily the cable held it from falling. The next day Tuesday (yesterday) I wasn't so lucky.
I was on ym way home from work, when a Toyota Tundra in the next lane ran over something pretty big, not sure what it was, it struck my car breaking the front grill and scratching the passenger side of my car and rim.
It did most of the damage inside, it broke the a/c condensor, and coolant is leaking out as well. It also bent a few things under the car. Needless to say I was pissed all day Contacted my insurance and it will be on its way to the shop soon.

Monday



Tuesday

Sucks. I hit a piece of a big rig tire on the freeway once and got owned. The quality on the Z sucks.

Sorry to hear about your incident. Shouldn't be a tough fix.

Saw a big object in the road a few weeks ago. I checked right and left and could not switch lane because of cars. I had no choice but to continue driving. I cringed passing over it preying that it would clear and not mess up my car. Luckly nothing happened.

Definitely sucks, but f it, use the insurance money to buy that bumper you always wanted.

It's the TV antenna, we don't use it anymore since we have cable, we just never took it down.

OP, seems like your car has some Final Destination for damage. Sucks to hear, hopefully the guts get fixed after being beat up

Good luck!
