I think I saw you wearing some kind of glasses.
I thought it was a rear end collision because when I passed you, I saw no damage on the left side.
Hope you are okay and hope you get what you need to get your Z back up to par.

But somehow it just never happened. Looks like your rims are stock too? God bless insurance! Time to get some WORK(Forget about Volks)!
Should never wish for an accident. Sometimes, you get more than you ask for.
You dont want your engine all mess up and you getting injuried. Not a great feeling.

It was at night and the truck didn't even stop. I didn't even get a license plate number. Consider yourself lucky bro. And yea, glad that you didn't get hurt!
I hear you. Sorry about your accident. I had my share of hit and run. Someone hit my quarter panel last year while it was parked. That person didnt have courtesy to leave a note or anything. I end up had to pay my deductible. Feel your pain bro!!!
Weird to think you saw me and I saw you yesterday and your car was in perfect condition.
Sorry to hear man that this happened.
Hopefully everything works out ok and downtime is minimal.

I'm just glad you are OK. The 91 freeway is always a nightmare 24/7. Good luck getting your Z all gussied up again!
Cheers~

First off I'm glad your ok and the damage wasn't too extensive.
I hate to be the guy that brings this up but I see it to often. If you had a few seconds to lay on your horn, why didn't you use those seconds to either brake and get behind the truck or change gears and accelerate in front of it. I think too many people rely on there horns and the reaction of others rather than reacting themselves.

You are right, damages are not too extensive. It just looks really bad visually. I dont think there is any frame damage. They body shop might actually be able to repair the sides instead of replace them. But pretty much every piece of the passenger side had some damages. Front bumper, fender, door, side skirt and quarter panel. At least no side airbad deploy.
I was laying the horn and breaking at the same time. When the truck decide to merged over, my car was next to the front end of the trailer. I didnt have a chance to speed up. I tried to slow down. But the trailer was so long, he kept on merging over the tail end of trailer eventually smashed in my car.

Nope - getting out of the way for through traffic (morning rush...). Just have to watch out for those out of control MB S500s
glad to hear you're ok. wow, i drive down that freeway everyday and it's true there are a lot of truckers rollin out there. couple close calls for me. again, glad to hear you're ok and that you filed the police report.
sorry to hear that...but you should have forseen such an event and positioned yourself with a pre-planned escape route (Its something I do hundreds of times every time I drive). Keep a safety bubble!

I dont want him to turn the story around and point finger at me. I waited like 45 mins for the police report. (Saw a few nice Z while I was waiting). Finally CHP got there. He told me that it wasnt my fault.
