Default Two Wrecked Z's

As I was going to work this morning, I past up a body shop slash junk yard on N Sheppard and there were two silver Z's that were wrecked from the front. Now that can only tell me that speed, racing, or Giving people the benefit of the dought that they got T-boned from a red light runner....

But anyway I saw this and it kinda upset me to see so many of these beautiful cars being wrecked...... I see it almost everyday on a flatbed or junk yards... I don't know what happened to both of these cars so I will not jump to conclusion on what happened... Just be carefull and please respect your cars. Becuase if you don't. They will not respect you.

THIS HAS BEEN A MESSAGE FROM YOUR LOCAL HOUSTON AREA Z'S, AND G''s COMMUNITY.

2003 350Z (est. 75,000 in USA) 45,000 totaled. Well I guess if people keep totaling these out I will have one of the few that are left. I feel that this model will be worth something one day(it was the rebirth of the Z).

Those cars were probably totalled and auctioned off. Then the body shop buys them, half *** repairs them from 2 cars and then sells them as one. I've seen it a lot. They even showed it on 20/20 or dateline once. The cars don't fair so well in crash test afterwards.
