Hey guys my name is Sam and I have been a board member for a while now. I have run into a bit of bad luck. I recently crashed my Z. It happened when a person driving a Mini Cooper swerved into my lane while I was going 70 and I reacted by swerving quickly away from them. Needless to say it caused me to spin out my car and I slammed into the center divider of the 101 freeway. The entire rear end of the car was damaged. To make matters worse due to bad luck my insurance happen to expire and I was not insured when this took place. Yes it was pretty stupid of me to let that happen but I happen to be away from home for 3 months for work and it totally slipped my mind.

What I am hoping is that somone here is or knows a body shop that would work on my car on a credit or payment plan. I don't have much money right now due to unexpected things coming up. My credit is really really horrible. I don't have anyone that I can ask to borrow the money to fix it. I do make a decent living at the job that I do. I know that I can save the money to get the car fixed, but I kinda need the car now to get to and fro.

Looking at the damage I would estimate it to be in the $2-3K range. I do have some parts that will be used in the repair (exhaust and bumper shell).

If anyone has any good ideas, suggestions, or can help me in anyway, it would be greatly appreciated. I know I did a really really stupid thing, but I hope that I can get out of this jam with your help, thanks for reading this. Please send me a PM or reply and I will get back to you quickly.

Sam

P.S. I know that within 1-2 months I could have the money to fix it, but I was looking to get it done ASAP. Hopefully to get it started this week, thanks
