Default Total loss on my 07', but have my new one now.

I lost my Daytona Blue 07' MT base Z in an accident. It was a total loss. Had to go for two weeks with no Z, I was having withdrawals. It was my first accident I've ever had involving another vehicle. I don't really want to get into the details, but nobody was hurt much. Just sore muscles for a few days. Anyway, I have another 07' now. It's a Silver Alloy MT Touring /w chrome rims. Hopefully I can get this one to the track. I didn't get a chance to take the last one. Total loss at 5k miles...

These are crappy phone pics of both cars.

Glad to see you are back in the saddle again. You lost your first one before the honeymoon was over. Much better luck this time!

Atleast you were able to buy another car so soon after your accident. And ofcourse that you are ok after your accident.
Good luck with this one. Post your time slips!

Thanks all. I have a good feeling about this new car. I don't think having it crashed is going to be a problem. At first I wasn't sure about the silver. But after the first day of having it I started liking the silver more than my old blue.

As far as replacing the car so quick, you can thank my insurance company for that. They paid it off quick, and more than MSRP (which amazed me). Plus I have GAP coverage and put no money down on the Z. I only made one payment on it. My insurance rates didn't go up on the new Z either... go figure.

All things considered, this was an extremely lucky accident. The car also held up very well. It's a well built frame. It didn't look too damaged (much better than the other car), but had a lot of hidden damage. Now I feel even more safe in the car than I did before. I may consider a 4-point harness though, after a few mods.

Edit: Spent most of the night detailing the car out in the garage, so I took a few pics with the phone and added them to the post.
