Crooked Brickyard Smile
I had no problems in the winter with the Blizzaks, but
I really hate RE040's all the time. I'm posting this so that the few people who I told about this aren't burdened by keeping it hush-hush to other Z friends. My Z will be fixed, and I'm shopping for Brickyard parts, some new wheels, and some decent tires.
Look audiopat, the ZeeBracket came out unscathed.

Damn....that's definitely not something you wanna see here on the boards.
You have my condolences, Heuge...hopefully she'll be back on the road very soon (sans Re040's, of course).

My only damage is a slight mark left by the seatbelt and the huge dent in my wallet when I see the change in my insurance rates. I thought that it might be totalled, and I could post a 2401 brickyards - 1 post, but the dealership is going to fix it instead.
This would have been one of the rare cases where I wish that my Z had VDC instead of TCS. I guess I also had zero coats of zaino. That must be what is needed to keep Brickyard Z's safe. Dr. Bonz, do you have any spare Brickyard parts to sell?
The only upgrades will be a KOYO radiator from one of the vendors on my350z and some new tires and wheels. I was considering the Sarona Fenders, but it looks like fitment takes quite a bit of work. A new bumper would be nice also, but then again I drive my Z all winter, and I really don't need a snowplow.

Sorry to hear about your accident. That definately sucks. It can happen to the best of us.
Please do not take offense to this, but there is one thing that I want to comment on. You have probably learned your lesson, but others in this forum might not have learned yet, and nobody should have to learn this the hard way. Maybe someone else can learn from your mistake. So here it goes.
I'm getting tired of Z owners spinning out and blaming it on the tires, or even commenting that the tires suck. I've lost track of how many threads exactly like this I've seen. At least you are aware it was your fault and you aren't trying to sidestep the blame and pin it on the tires. Props for that. We can all agree that the stock potenzas aren't the best tire there is, but the tires are not at fault for any of these spinouts/hydroplanes. Besides, if someone is aware they have bad tires, they shouldn't be driving fast, or it's their responsibility to have them replaced with better tires. The problem lies here: inexperience coupled with LSD. Bad combo if you ask me. You guys with LSD need to BE CAREFUL!! It's so much easier to spin out in all situations with LSD as opposed to an open end diffy.
Anyway.... hopefully you will get fixed up like new and your insurance won't hate you for it. Good luck!

What is LSD? Although it works in the sentence, I assume you're not taking about the hallucinogenic drug.
Thanks.
