Default July was a bad month for my Nismo.

I only owned my nismo 2 months.

First there was the hit & run which made a hole in my rear bumper. Total cost was $1600. My deductible was $1k, cashed out with $600 and fixing it myself.

Two weeks after I bought my OEM bumper for $884 after taxes. BOOM! Got hit by a truck while making a left turn, about $6k worth of damanges; luckily only to side fender and front bumper, no engine damage.

Wasn't my fault so I let my insurance handle the repairs. Talked to the Fix auto and negotiated a $400 cash price to paint and install my rear bumper while doing repairs to the front. Getting back the car next Thursday. Missing her so much already.

Just wanted to share guys. Have a good one.

Its the curse of the red Z's in general lol. Same thing with me man, red attracts vandalism, hit and runs, and people crashing into you!

Why is it that Nismo's always get the first serving of being damaged in some way? Good luck to you op on your Nismo!
