gema Posted March 17, 2004 Share #13 Posted March 17, 2004 Collect insurance or lawsuit, and UPGRADE!!!! Turn a negative into a positive, it's the best thing to do. Sucks that it happened, but hey...my wreck last summer was the spark in a string of events that led me to my Z. As time progresses, i find myself almost thankful that I smashed a Honda (after seeing what people do to them, ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadflo Posted March 18, 2004 Share #14 Posted March 18, 2004 Man that sucks about your Z! Hey I'm in Washington too, Spokane.I have had two hit and run incidents wih my cherry 280zx here. Both times I was lucky enough to have fifty dollar deductable on my collision insurance, which covered it. Hope you have something like that!Also your insurance company will likley offer you support in tacking down the suspect. I would provide them any info your friend has on the description of their dumass redneck truck.Oops, sorry, I had to say that.BTW, I had another expereince when a guy in anf-350 truck backed nto the front of my Z when were were at a stoplight. I was laying on the horn but he didt hear me and hit my bumpr at about three miles an hour,it was huge impact. i ran to the front of my car, but that 280zx bumper absorbed the whole impact, you couldnt even tell it happened!So I guess that's one good point the ZX has the old Z's didnt!
