Bye Bye Z :(
Sad story... but gotta tell it.
Last night I'm cruising to the Ocean in my Z. Well... I let off a lil "Z's first poot" and I roll down the window. My girl looks at me and says, "it's cold out there!" And I in turn proceed to roll up the windows. Sad thing is she had her finger in the damn window and let me tell you... those suckers are very powerful. It busted her finger right open and she started to bleed. So I pull over and notice she's in pain. I decide I'm going to jam to the next town before the ocean and since I have my radar detector no big deal right? WRONG. A cop is right ahead of me and I get hit so I push my brake pretty hard, unfortunately I was only able to slow down to 72 in a 60 zone.
So he pulls me and runs me in... long story short my license was suspend for failure to report an accident! I got into a lil fender bender and did a little ding to this ladys car like 1 year ago. So anyway, they tow my damn Z and tell me they are going to hold it for 30 days or some BS like that. So no Z until October 14th.
Needless to say I'm very sad today. That and the damn guy who put her on the flatbed reved the crap outtah the engine getting it on the ramp. He said he'd put it in a warehouse for me. I'm going to call down tomorrow and see if the are. I'm ordering the car cover anyway right now. Wow... sucky *** weekend.

Hope your GF is ok. What a freak mishap. Hang in there, your Z will come back to you soon

Jesse,
I'm sorry to hear the news. Hopefully things will work out. I know how much of a Z fanatic you are to come to Japan and join me at the Tokyo Auto Show
And how you placed your pre order before 2002. I might be bringing a small group to the NISMO festival this year maybe you can join us.
On a lighter note can Bill Gates pull some strings
?
Best Regards!

I am constantly amazed at how judgemental some of you guys are. Blows my mind, you have no idea of the circumstances, no idea of what really transpired, and yet here you are passing judgment. ******.

DAMN man... sorry.
Maybe you should get a lawyer, like NOW. A car like that, being in the impound is NOT good. A few years back, a friend of mine had his highly modded Supra impounded. 30 days later, when he got his car back, it was trashed. Keyed up, dented, front mount intercooled was missing, seats were slashed up and BLOWN engine. The cops and towing company just said too bad and laughed. He ended up sueing and lost.
Whatever it takes, you NEED to get your car out of there.

Man, not to be rude, but what the hell where you doing buying a Z, and driving around with your license suspended? Much less, speeding!
You were asking for it dude.. Im sympathize with you but you had it coming.

I wonder what you would say if your car was the one that was hit and run?

Folks, I don't think he said it was a H&R, he said he got nailed for failure to report an accident.
That is what happens if you get in an accident and the damage is over some amount yet you do not report it. In this state if the damage is over $2500 (I think that's right) you must file a police report. Not the same thing as hit & run by a long stetch.
As for the impoundment, I think in this state, a car driven by someone with a suspened license gets the vehicle impounded. It also doesn't matter whose vehicle it is...
