I'm just hoping my insurance totals this one. It was alot of fun while it lasted...




If your car is totaled does it matter if you give it back with a black hood? lol.

I got on the I-10 and started playing with another Z. The road was wet and traction was little. So I get on it a little too hard one time and start to fish tail a little bit. I quickly let off the gas and regain control but not before a Cop notices and begins to pull me over. We sat on side of the highway for 6-7 minutes and he never even got out of his car. Then he just took off and left me sitting there. I thought "this is the luckiest day of my life."

Still heading towards Baton Rouge on I-10 right after the Nola Airport exit, I see I'm coming up on a wreck and I'm THE FIRST CAR THERE. I stop in the left lane (cars and debris scattered the right one) and turned on my flashers. I jump out and run to the first car to find it empty. As I run to the next car I see 3 guys walking back yelling everything is ok, they called the police, and I should try to drive around it all and go home. Ok fine. I get to the hood of my car just in time for a fourth car to come crashing into the back of mine at about 65mph. I literally JUMPED on the hood of my car as they hit it and it was coming straight at me and almost fell off and over the bridge as it crashed into the side wall.

My gf was sitting on the passenger side and never even knew what hit her. She was ok though, just scared and crying alot. No one was hurt actually.

The cops sited me for (stopping on a highway) and causing the second accident. Even I stopped to render aid and had my damn flashers ON and the debris ****ing blocked me from passing.

I'm gonna find a good lawyer tomorrow... My Z is totaled!!!

I'll be parting it all out as soon as I get a green light from my insurance company. Look at my list of mods and claim what you want to. I will post pics soon.........
wow man, sorry to hear all this happened. . .glad to hear you and your gf are alright. . .i don't get on the forums for a couple days and i see this. . .don't now what to say. . .sucks. . .

Then I sat for a second in disbelief that all of that just actually happened. I jumped up, checked on everyone, then ran up the street and started directing traffic till the cops showed up.

I have USAA and they are treating me pretty good so far. Still waiting to get an answer if they will let me pull off all the mods once they officially total it...
i hope they let you pull the mods off. . .when i totalled my prelude i wanted to pull my engine out but they wouldn't let me, or should i say they wouldn't give me any money if i did. . .

ummmm, sounds like a lot of us are having problems or close to it, wether it be with the cops or wrecks. . .so here is my close call while driving to Houston. . .doing 75 on I-10 in the left lane i come up on two 18 wheelers, one behind the other in the right lane. . .i get to the door of the first one i come up on and notice the one in front of him is signaling to get in the left lane. . .i slow down to the middle of the trailer of the semi that i'm next to and notice that he all of a sudden puts his blinker on and within a second he starts to move into my lane quick with no regard to the other semi wanting to change lanes or myself being right next to him. . .all i had to the left of me was the brick barrier about 2ft. to my left so i had to think quick, either get ran over by his back wheels after i get smoosed against the barrier and thrown underneath or honk and slam on my brakes. . .well i chose the no-brainer option and slammed on my brakes with inches to spare, and i mean INCHES. . .he still didn't notice me after all that and kept going. . .so i passed them when i had the chance and made sure i never got by them again. . .i tell ya, the only thing that flashed in my head when i saw him about to squish me was that damn red saleen stang get ran over by the semi in FnF. . .i've never felt my heart pound so fast. . .

U can get any item that u added to the Z that wasnt part of it stock when u total a car. They are paying for a Stock 350z unless u insured the other pieces on it.

Hey guys, I just got some new wheels in today, and they came with rings, which I am assuming are the hub centric rings? What purpose do they serve, and should I use them?
