I've seen it in person and it's a sweet ride. Glad you're safe. I think it could have been much worse, and can be easily fixed.

I know.. as I was waiting for the cop the get there I was like.. "hmm... carbon door shopping?"

Called my insurance, and I guess they are going to get a hold of her insurance tomorrow and get the ball rolling.

Lighting in my garage is not so hot.. but it looks like th damage is isolated to the door and fender.. I just cant tell of the side skirt took any abuse.. I REALLY hope not... getting a hold of the skirt would be like getting a hole drilled in your head.

not a happy camper.

Damn Mike, Elson just called me because he just read this on your myspace page. That completely sucks and any plans on what you are going to change if anything? Good luck and if you need anything, you got my number.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I can only try to imagine your pain. Hope you get it back to original shape. Will insurance cover all the custom paint or sticker work?

Did you get her phone number?

The lady had insurance???

How does that work? Here you're the only one with insurance and the guy/gal who hits you has no insurance, no license, no job, and no clue of how to drive.

Sorry to hear about this man.

Kelly told me last night and I was shocked... but glad you were OK and it is minimal damage...

+3 on the Carbon Doors. I know you were looking at them anyway right? And you need to get some new graphics for the '06 racing season right?

Consider it an opportunity to make a few new changes.

Thanks guys for your kind words and support. I "looks" like mostly cosmetic damage but I wont know for sure till its looked at.

I need to get it out of the garage when I run home for lunch today and check the side skirt. I really hope its not damaged... Its on solid.. I checked it before I drove her home, but I could not tell if it was cracked anywhere.

Calling her insurance company now.. hopefully they wont be butt-heads.

Always sad to see a damaged Z sorry to see this. But on the upside of things, the damage is not bad at all....

I was expecting worse when I read the post....I guess the decal might pose a few problems but everything else looks ok.

Hopefully the insurance company will work with your paint guy.
