One of our own in bad accident

[Smokey]

Ernie, I am glad that you are home and getting better so quick (although, I am sure it has been slow for youLOL ). In my job I see all kinds of crashes and injuries from these crashes. Side impacts can be brutal. The fact that your car received the magnatude of damage you are telling us, and you came out in as good a shape as it seems, speaks of a certain amount of safety in these cars. I know that a newer car with side airbags would have done better, but geez 30 years old with decorative bumpers--not too bad!

Again, I hope for a speedy recovery and a new Z project for you in the future.

Here's to your very speedy recovery. :)

but see i knew it its a damn conspiracy with those american cars trying to rid the earth of our beloved datsuns.

sorry to see your car in the shape its in looks like they hit it really hard. like someone else said the car is replaceable, YOU are NOT!!

good to know that your up and moving though. take care in recovery, and dont think about revenge just yet:devious:

least not till you can run back to your 240Z hehe the next getaway car:cheeky:

Sorry to hear about the accident, glad you're alive and on the mend. That above all, is the MOST important thing.

On a separate note, before you "total" the Z, you might take it to a qualified Uni-Body Frame Shop and get an opinion and, if they feel it is repairable, an estimate.

Yes, the damage is bad, but unless it looks like a boomerang from the top, it may very well be salvageable.

As others have said, in the long run, even if you cannot find another of the same model of car, it is better to be ALIVE!

Good Luck and Best Wishes for a speedy recovery.
