Unless you got one of those special edition 350Z's with the rear mounted engine, I'm sure its just fine.

Based on that pic, I wouldnt think it's totaled.

Sorry to hear about your accident.

This almost happened to me on the NJ Turnpike many years ago. After midnight on a Saturday morning I see a car coming in my rear view mirror. I quickly determined that I have to give this one the slip (rule of thumb - always change lane in this situation late at night on weekends).

There was a tractor trailer in front of me and the car slammed into and and got attached to it. The TT driver continued on his merry way. I had to chase him down and get him to pull over. It turns out the car driver was drunk. Luckily he was driving an old station wagon. I stayed around and comforted him until emergency services arrived. I then took off since the troopers did not seem to be interested in my account of what happened.

Sorry to hear about your accident -- at least you are OK. The car can be replaced.

Wow, that's pretty crazy. Good to hear that you came out scar free and safe. Poor Z though. People need to slow down on public highways and streets for the safety of others. Keep speeding and racing on the tracks!

Body Shop guy? The frame could be bent(which is why I am here, my neighbor slayed my Maxima, spun it and hit back end first), among other problems.

Damn, this is an old thread.

Never found the ******* but I am very thankful I came out of there alive. Very scary moment for me and stupid socal drivers still went 80+mph when I had my blinkers on and was stuck in the middle of a 3 lane freeway...

I do miss the Z and my old ZX

Wow, that's horrible! At least you're fine man, the car can always be replaced or fixed.
If you're fully insured, you'll be fine!
Hope everything works out for you.

Glad to hear you're ok. I'm really sorry had to happen to your baby. On the upside something good should come out of this.
