Well, at least you weren't t-boned...that would likely have been worse. I've only had one accident where another car hit me. I was waiting in an old Ford Ranger at a red light behind a line of cars when a guy drove right into the back of my truck. He wasn't looking until it was too late, so there was no braking at all. The rear bumper of my truck sliced the entire top of his car off (engine included) right up to the windshield. It was a compact sedan...can't remember make.

What I remember most was the look on his face in the rear view mirror as I watched him approach...eyes like saucers and mouth agape...LOL. I was holding a coke and thought, "get ready!" as there was nothing I could do. Coke went everywhere and I was thrown back, then forward, then back again. No whiplash thankfully.

Oh I know! That's why I said it could have been so much worse. Glad you walked away from getting rear ended.

And the 370z boys still think their car is 200-300lb lighter than the 350Z BASE!

get rid of the spaces above.

So if your point here is that Nissan talked a big game but didn't really deliver on everything the 370Z promised to be, then I think we agree!

In all seriousness though, I like the 370Z but am still considering picking up a leftover 08 just because of the great bargains. I personally don't love the new styling cues except for the roofline either.
