We've done some great things here at my350z: catching scammers, thieves, finding lost peeps, helping other members with donations etc etc. Let's add one more. Let's catch a murderer. Spread the word fellas. This is just wrong.

Think they knew each other, stopped talked and decided to take off. Probably drunk at the time.

WTF.

Douche runs him over then nobody stops to help the guy? I mean really, people were just driving around him like he was a bump in the road. Sickening.

no kidding…how quickly can you get the bumper swapped out and the hood replaced under the radar?

Can't the police contact Nissan and pull a GPS 'big-brother' on this…isolate any grey GTRs that were active on that night? in that area? it's not like there is a GTR on every street...

Probably a bit slow getting across the street at age 90. Stopped at intersection had to get bicycle going again didn't make it in time. Surprised the guy can still ride a bike.

That happened a while ago, CF ricer hood and front bumper. That's what people need to look for on a GTR today.

Very sad... but the driver shouldn't have ran. He wouldn't have been in any trouble if he would have stayed at the scene (unless he had been drinking, etc).

Very easily? All you have to do is go to a **** cash only body shop to fix the damages so its presentable enough to take it to nissan to buy a new front bumper

If it was me…I'd lock the car in a storage unit and unplug the battery and strategically scope ebay for the parts…get real knowledgable on how to swap them out…

or…

I would turn myself in after I sobered up...
