That's not a 300ZX!! They aren't even similar! Also it doesnt look like an F-150 either. Maybe a Suburban? Sucks to die tho...

^Yes you're right it's not a 300zx, but if you read the article and listen to the cast, they say a Ford F150 was involved, but left the scene.

Adame Munoz may have been involved in some sort of "horseplay" with a Ford F150 pickup truck, but that had not been confirmed as of early Tuesday, Powell said. The pickup did not remain at the scene, he said.

We should actually be happy that they reported the wrong model car.

RIP fellow Z bro, my condolences


( no to street racing ) not only does it affect the person involved it affects his family and friends as well as innocent people on the road and it puts a red flag for other motorsport enthusiast such as us fellow Z guys

I wonder what they consider "horseplay"...

Tony (if he was dumb enough to do this and not know his/the car's limits, then unfortunately he got what he deserved)

Is "horseplay" a misdemeanor or felony?
