Honestly... that's the new saying at Crawford's.

Adam has been popped a few times, Manny gets nailed, Doug already has a ding in his 4k miles Baby2... Now I get to be the next victim... F'n bullshiet I say.

I pull out of my space, put it in first to go and... OH SHIET! Here comes a big stupid F150 4x4 backing, backing... F YOU MOTHER F'R!!!!!

BAMMMMM

Trashed my drivers side door and rear fender.

I'm a believer... can't have ANYTHING nice anymore.

To lighten the mood . . .that is a nice reflection off that second pic.

The glocks are in the car, do we know where we are going? I dont know how I would handle something like this. I mean both times I was hit, they were cute females. That was easy. But a dude in a F150 would be another story.

Sorry man

I'm sorry Chris. That is the worst feeling. Ask me how I know...

My Sister backed into the rear of my Supra when it was parked at my parents house nearly 4 years ago. I still give her a hard time about it when I drive the Z over there.

Maybe this can be a start to a new look... Bodykit, new wheels, crazy paint job. Not that you need it, that is just what I decided to do with my supra.

Dam that's some serious damage...I feel for ya.

I had a near miss in a similar type of situation. This lady was backing out of a parking space facing forward the whole f*ing time. Had I not honk, she would have nailed me for sure. I just don't understand how someone could get there drivers license and don't use common sense...LIKE TURNING YOUR HEAD WHILE BACKING OUT!!!...it just boggles the mind.

It takes a lot to make me lose my kool. Had this lady nailed me, I SWEAR I would've rushed out and slugged her.

I'm concerned with the orange peel... the shop I take it to which indefinately make it look new.

Though how close can you match peel? Stock Nissan black paint SUCKS! A bud a work just picked up a black SC430, and the paint is SO much deeper and rich looking.

I feel your pain man. Commuting in a college town is close to impossible. I have to watch for morons everywhere...My car has been hit 3 times since I got it a little less than a year ago. I find the best way to deal with it is with unquestionable demand for perfection in getting everything fixed. Who cares if you vex the person that hit you...they don't deserve an opinion in the matter.

Hope all turns out well and you don't go insane with rage.....for too long...

I feel your pain. My front bumper is bashed like my car was in a destruction derby.

-huge scrape on the far driver's side where it connects to the wheel well (NEVER will I go to another automatic carwash)

-U / L shaped crease right in the midde beneath the emblem about 6-7 inches long, very noticable at some angles (my guess is some punk backed up into my car, as I found out about it after getting back from lunch with friends)

-Another long stretch of scrapes below the passenger headlight where the bumper "bends" (careless fools at tint shop, won't be a returning customer)

-Rock chips like my car was sandblasted

and there you have it. All that in just 6,000 miles. I can hardly wait to have it replaced. I just hope the Vertex front or Nismo front will look ok with the stock 17's...

I know what you mean about the stock paint... it sucks. Mine was bad too, and I tried having nissan fix it but they said it wouldnt get any better so I'm like what ever. Thats why I had my whole car repainted.
That really blows that you got hit , I'm pissed about it too and its not my car Strang how were so protective about our zs

just curious, when u had ur entire car repainted, does it look better? as in is the paint better quality and deeper? since im getting my new bumper painted, im thinking it mite not have as many paint chips cause im guessing the paint HAS to be thicker than the stock 350z paint job.
