My Car was killed today

Well let’s see, ME?

Today at 10:10am 02/06/03 some blind F#@%*ker rear ended me and shortened my car by about 12" and managed to launch me into the rear on a Jaguar. The old guy was about 80 years old driving a 1970ish olds with the reflexes of a snail.

I was at a complete stop waiting for the jag to make a left when all as I could see was the olds coming up on my rear. I had enough time to think of moving out of the way but there was so much trafic I couldn't move, all as I could do was wait and watch. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!

I got Pic

 

Lots of pics to fallow:

I'll be the ginipig for the 350 community on how to deal with post mortum troma

 

Dang that looks pretty bad, it's not totalled though is it? Any estimates on the damage?

 

Thats a piece of the guys grill stuck in my ***

 

Not yet, but I'm betting there's mager hidden damage

 

Mine was declared totaled and the estimate was only 8k to repair. They said the parts were so backordered being so new that the storage and rental fees would be rediculous......like 3- and 4 months backoreded. a few pics...

 

OK guys I need condolences and lots and lots of advice on how to deal with ICBC. Thers no way I want a car that will never be the same and now has major deminished value because of major damage.

 

There wasn't any frame damage according to the shop, It was the one my Nissan dealer uses.....their own collision center, I figured they would be best for getting parts....

 

Oh man, I (and you know I meen this) I feeel for your pain

 

Everyone at Bankston Nissan (my dealer) and Bankston Collision Center was shocked it was totaled. I'm glad to be getting a new one though anyway, better new then patched. But I miss it.....that was April 25th and I'm counting the days till I get a deal worked out on ARZ #5 Woohoo!

last one

 

Maybe I haven't followed closely enough, but your title says 3rd Z, what happened to the 2nd one?

 

Please tell me this is a right off!!!!!!!!!

 

Oops...posted the wrong pic. The one above shows the push to total it. The frame was fine but where the door V'd in on my seat (only bruised a leg) it pushed against the seat and caused the thin floor to buckle (right there were the seat rails bolt down) Only 8grand but the guys told me most companies will fix it but that StateFarm usually totals them out.....StateFarm told me it was the backorded parts that did it.


Good luck with yours, maybe you'll be luckier than I was. Here is the pic I was looking for...

 

I don't think you have anythig to worry about.....I would bet that it is totalled....only be concerned that your depreciation doesn't upside down you on what you owed.....


My first and second Z's are fine. #1 was sold to my buddy in 99 or 2000 and has 160k miles on stock turbos running 13.5psi (sitting outside right now) the other is down in Central Texas doing I don't know what....

first one....93 Twin Turbo

 

I miss my Z32's....will have another one once my next 350 is paid for....here is #2

 

I got insurance for "Full replacement value" for the first three years of the car

 

whew, the way I read your title, was 3rd 350Z!

 

This looks bad bad bad

 

Mine got rearended on December 2, 2002. Only two weeks after I bought the damn car.

 

What was your damage report and what was your prognosis?
