jondimellow (Jon) - I was wondering if you would team this with me. That way when I can't make it someone is there to keep it going. I mean after all it was your idea to get this started along with another members suggestion on the location. Lol !!! Good call! We could try to do it every three week or so and then set up some weekend rides etc....
What do you say? Are you game?

Okay, okay......Is Northern Cali going to have an official meet coming soon? Sounds like you guys had too much fun (I had to work). Anybody heard of Bayhill Shopping Center in San Bruno? There are a couple of restaurants and a Starbucks. It's right off the I-280 freeway. Just a thought...whatta you think??

Geez zmoothg! glad to hear you're ok! who cares about the car after that, honestly!
life is very sneaky, blessings come in strange ways. yeah it sux your car is gone but you'll get another and you'll probably be a better person overall from the experience. just underlines what's important in life and never to take anything for granted.

Instead of slowing down like I did, he felt he could switch lanes and continue his same speed in the very right lane. I guess he expected me to do the same thing and not slow down. Anyways.... I slowed down to be careful and I was going about 80mph. Next thing I know he clipped my rear. I had my VDC off sadly. My rear lost control. I then tried to gain control but it was too late. My car spun perpendicular to the lane, hit the center divider, flipped over upside down. Spun across the highway from the left to the ride shoulder. Flipped back right side up and stopped. I surprisingly got out alive with just a few minor cuts from the sunroof shattering. I ended up getting 4 stiches, but as far as that I came out alive and intact. My G is completely done.. I do not know how in the world I survive that accident. Sighh... I am soo down, confused, and upset with myself and that random car that hit me.

Dude, Don't worry we'll all help you find another at a good price.
I am begining to believe these cars are really safe in an accident.
In most any other smaller car you would have been done for.
I am so glad you were driving your G. It's just a car .... we'll help you find another if you want.
If there is anything we can do for ya let us know. If you want to meet up this week and talk or get a bite to eat email me. I do understand, been there as well.
Should we have a funeral for the car?
If it makes you feel any better I noticed everyone was hitting 90-100 on the freeways around here. Give a Californian a good day in the middle of a lot of rain and will all go fast. I had to really try to keep it under 80 a bunch of times yesterday. I mean I was getting passed by everyone, even hyundais and civics were laughing as they were passing me. I had to just sit there and grind my teeth. I so much wanted to put my foot in it.
In other words, it as easily could have been me yesterday with the speeds we were all going. I think I'm taking the Pathfinder out for the next day or two. I don't feel like going a hundered in that thing even though it has the Z motor in it. I get to feel the Z motor under my foot but no one challenges me.

looks like you might be out sales tax a second time around (not fun in cali) but it's better than being found at fault and dealing with the premium increases from that. did all the airbags deploy? side, curtain and driver? any pics? did you go to a hospital to get checked out? pay extra attention to how you feel, not to freak you out, but internal bleeding or other problems can manifest days later.
don't be too hard on yourself. there are lots of jacka$$es on the highways here in norcal that think they know how to drive. the first accident i had ever been in happened here (thankfully in a honda). get pissed at the other driver, make sure you get yours, and get back on the street in that G style
try to take it easy and keep us updated

I saw the speed raising out there with the good weather going to and coming back from Infineon. So, we just have to remember the street is not as safe as the track. I mean guys were spinning out every couple of minutes because of the water on the track but, no one got hurt. If that happens on the street you taking some larger risks.
I'll share with you some more of my racing in the streets stories as I did at the meet on Friday later. I have seen my share of wrecks. I've been in a few that I should not have survived. One in particular was really bad. RR crossing.
Jamel (sp? please forgive) - Again please let us know how you are feeling and if there is anything we can do. I am not working right now so I can meet you anytime just to chase the blues away. To be honest it would probably help me out too.
Best to you guys, AJ

Hey guys!! Its me Jameel. I am ALIVE! 
I mean that is all that going well right now.
I am about to go look at the car now. I am scared of what I will see, and I will do all the filing with the insurance company today. Too bad the fool that hit me and caused the accident got away.
Now I am going to be stuck with the largest premium in car history. Sighhhh.. Anyways.. Thanks everyone for the support and AJ I think I will take you up on your offer. I just need to get things squared away first with this accident and then I will have some free time.
Like I said I just have minor scraps from the sunroof glass breaking and I received 4 stitches. Hopefully my face will return to its beautiful self shortly. Damn I miss my G, but guess I have to look at the bright side: I am alive and now I get a new G in black like I wanted, even though that one was new too. Luckily I did not put the computer back in the car soo the only thing that was lost was the car itself. I am still pissed that loser got away. Luckily I am religious, thus I can sleep at night knowing my hitman God is out there waiting to take care of him for me.
When I get back I will post more details and post pics of the damage. It wont be pretty. Jon has already seen its state and lets just say it makes you want to cry..
