Wrecked ma Z........bleh!
Long story short, I hit either a patch of ice or sand while going around a
corner last night. I started to slide sideways but it happened so fast that I
didn't have time to react...... damage is as seen below, rear axles and god knows what else is F'd. Does anyone know of a good body shop in NOVA and
where can I take it for mechanical repairs???????? FUNCTION TUNED??????
FIXED!!!!!!! GOOD AS NEW!!!!!!!!!!

I took a few friends on a windy road and a similar thing happened. There's sand everywhere and one of our guys broke loose @ 25mph around a corner. The damage to the suspension doesn't look so bad because those arms can simply be replaced, let's just hope that's the only thing that's bent!
Props for posting up your wreckage stories, most ppl tend to hide that info =)

I hope so, I don't know how to go about getting it fixed. My insurance company says that I can just take it to one of there "Blue ribbon" repair places but the closet one to me is a Chevy dealer soooooo I dono how I feel about letting a Chevy dealer fix my Z s a
It pretty sad that I lost to a stinkin curb lol going 15mph ....... I hardly call it a wreck but the damage was jaw droppin, got lucky I was able to drive it home.

This was just sheer bad luck, I wasnt doing anything out of norms.
