Angry Crashed my Z * PHOTOS... How Bad Is It ?

Crash my Z lastnight at 2am, Ground was wet and had armoral on my tires, punched it in second and lost control and hit a telephone pole at 60km/h bounced off and my rad flooded

I'm glad your okay though .... people keep telling me.... " It's just a car.. it can be replaced " .... " A Person Cant Be " ... To be honest bro ... pretty sure i could care less after seeing my 350z in its current condition after the pole and it had sex

How bad does it look
be honest.

looks like there may be frame damage so insurance may call it totaled, but with enough money and time it is fixable.

Like you said, as long as your safe.

Not entirely sure on overall damage, but hopefully it's not too bad.

You said the ground was "wet". How wet were the roads, because those roads in the pics seem pretty dry to me. Unless it's just hard to see from those photos.

Why do you have armoral on your tires? Tire dressings never suppose to touch the tread.

How do you get frame damage on a Unibody car? There is no frame .


Doesn't look bad, will probably get fixed.

Tire shine applicators are curved and if the applicator is heavily used, it will be fully of the shine and it might put some on the leading edge of the tread side.

I know when I used to have my car detailed, coming out of the driveway on to the road, even under normal load, the tires would spin just from the shine that was near the sidewall.

From the looks of it, I guess 10k in damage from a reputable high end shop. I'm no expert though.

I'm guessing its totaled unless the insurance company tries to use used parts for the repair. Having spent many hours taking the front clip on and off I know there are MANY small parts in that area that are completely trashed.

Dugan can fix it

Did the air bags deploy? If so, then its 99% chance its totaled.
