On my way to the bodyshop on January 2 someone pulled out in front of me and took out the front of the car. Other guy's fault. Z is totaled.

The worst part is that on the way to the bodyshop after the accident the car was on a flat bed tow truck and the car broke lose falling off the tow truck taking our the rear of the car as well. The car fell off from about 5 feet in the air.

Looks Like I will be starting again. I am waiting on the settlement from my insurance company. I am going to let them go after the guy and the tow truck company. I hope to have it resolved by the end of this week.

I had made so much progress with the car this year getting my first mag cover and placing well at HIN, DUB, and NOPI. Damn shame. Second time I have totaled a Z. I guess the thrid time will have to be the charm.

Oh yeah, I am ok. Few nicks and bruises, but I am fine.

Here are the pics:

glad to hear your ok. So now you claim total loss for the first accident.. then Neglegance on the part of the tow truck driver. So, in acutalality you'll be able to come out waay ahead for your new Z.

If i was you, save for the 08 GTR.

Thanks everyone. We are making plans for a new car. I have had a few weeks to get used to the idea. I am very active in the Nissan community so we will be sticking with a Z.

I had gone through great lengths this past year to protect the car and still lost it. Sometimes it is meant to be. We get to start with a blank canvas now.

I am not waiting for 08 GTR. I will build another car and sell it in 09 or 10 and get a GTR then.

Talked with insurance today and they are going to pay me what I had it insured for which it way way over what just the car is worth.

If you have a highly modded car and receipts talk to your insurance rep and increase your coverage like I did.
