Yup I guess it was my turn. Got into an accident last Friday and today, I went to get an estimate and got TOTAL according to the body shop in my town. Last weekened, I took off all of my gauges, wideband, hids, and intercooler plus piping to sell.

The car's damage were the result of hitting an old pick up truck and since my car was so low, the hoods messed up, right fender, headlights, radiator support caved in. Otherwise drivable but totally unsaleable.

Hindsight being 20-20, I'm so glad I slowed down enought cause if I went head on at fullspeed, the pickup bed would have road up my hood and into the windshield and into my head! :eek

Anyway, I've been looking at 350z so yeah, that's been my adventure.

SOB, sorry to hear that mang.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( oh I'm drunk... Hope you weren't

looks like we'll both be getting Zs. lol sweet!

damn, sorry to hear, ur eclipse was always one of my favorites on the board, good that youre ok

:(

NOOOO! I loved that car, it was very clean :( I'm sorry to here man.

We're gonna need a 350z section here at the rate the 2gnters are going...

oh... sad day man. You had a beautiful car.

Sad to hear it man, atleast you're alright. It took me forever to realize I'm more important than my damn car. :shrug

Damn. Sorry, brother. I always liked your car so much. You had the juice with that thing. The drop, the color, those wheels? Damn. Sad day.

Sucks man. VERY sorry to hear... :(

that is some bad news... your car was always reaaally nice!

I think you should hold an online memorial with pics to remember it by.

AKA I never saw any high res pics of it.

Thanks guys. The damage is actually not that bad except for the damage in the radiator metal brace. I'm shopping for a Z tomorrow though.

got any pics of the damage?

can I get some parts?

sorry to hear about the wreck though

My condolences. Sad to hear another 2GNTer, a SoCal 2GNTer at that lose his ride. But what's important is you're ok. Hope everything works out for you, insurance, getting a Z and all.

damn, sorry to hear it. hope things go your way for the new ride though.

by the way, make sure you get a manual transmission this time! :P

what kind of Z are you looking to get?

I think I'm gonna get a silverstone 06 base model. I'm going to talk about price tomorrow.

WHOA! Got my Z. IT is a 04 base silverstone model with a pioneer dvd/navigation system/mp3 cd system, nismo cold air intake and 20000 miles on it. I'm getting lojack installed in a few days as well as an alarm system. It also has side airbags which is sweet for safety.

Yes, it is a manual!

WOW I can't believe I'm driving a Z. I remember driving to sac on my way to school and I'd drool over each and every Z or G35 that I see on the road. Now, it MINE!

Wow. Sorry to hear about the loss, but it seems like your better shape now. Congrats on the new 350.

nice, now show it to us.

I'll post pics next week kissing the hood :) I'm learning to drive stick for the first time so I'm not even driving it to work. I'm learning fast though :P

I'll bring you a set of four wheels with tires if you'll trade me straight up for the ones you had on the Eclipse. :7

Glad to hear you're stoked about the new ride. Stick around.

Sorry to hear it brother, but since you are ok and happy with your z are we doing a part out here or what...lol

Dang, I hope you're not learning on the Z. I'd learn on some crappy truck or something.

No pun intended?

Wow, sorry to hear about your car. I have always thought that your car was one of the nicest on here.

Have fun in the Z!!!

Thanks guys. I'm definitely sticking around. I'm ready to post about a rant regarding narrow minded silverspoon up their ass z owners. GoD if only there was a 350z site that is as knowledgeable as 2gnt. :rolleyes

Yea, nothing like having a good community. There's gotta be a good site out there somewhere, It will just take time to find.

Ugh at my350z.com, one of the most popular sites, everyone's solution is either to take it to a shop or sell it for a different model. Where's the DIY spirit? Like the repairs section is absolutely clueless with no real solutions to peoples problems other than the above suggestions.

figure out ways to fix the fix and stuff and start your own board...lol, ti seems the olde rthe car gets tho the more info is out ther, like our 2gs when they first came to the amrket no one knew shit about them the the info built up

Yea, my friend(I use this term loosely) who has one always takes it to shops... for the easiest shit... its sad really.

Ok, how about you post some pictures now? :P

I suggest you get a NISMO cat-back exhaust...

I was leaning towards a silverstone one too, but all the colors look so damn good. I can't make up my mind.

I loved your 2gnt but I really like the Z so good luck w/ that and get those pics up. How much did you pay for yours if you don't mind me asking? My friend bought his track model friday night w/ NAV for $25,000 w/ 30K miles. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

I cant decide if I want a used one with all kinds of options, like that, or if I should get a brand new base model. Ugh.

My Z right now is at the dealer getting the minor scratches detailed out (part of the deal), lojack installed, speaker in the rear fixed (I think the owner before messed it up with the navi install), keys made, and have the clutch adjusted. So yeah, I'm going through withdrawls right now but I'll get it tomorrow again. Otherwise, car runs great, the automatic climate control is neat, and I GET 27 MILES PER GALLON with 287hps!!!!!

I paid for an 04 with 20000 miles for 23000. Its the base model (I wish I had cruise though) but but the base is the lightest and the pre-06 models are about 200 lbs lighter due to sound deadening material. I love it and I know here in Cali, I could not have gotten a good deal buying it from a dealer. It was 24000 sticker, and most Z here even used go for 26000.

I honestly wanted a black Z, blue, or white but dark silver has grown on me. Plus the car is just beautiful anyway you put it.

Well Im glad you like ur new car but I thought we were sticking together with our 420a ATX Turbos.... =(

Nice pickup man, z's are hawt. I really like the G35, they are the sexor. I was browsing for a set of rims for my buddies 323ci and came across a nice set that were very reasonable. Check these out, i think they are bad ass on the Z.

wow, looks good.

i was wondering, how old are you, and how much is your insurance? I got some quotes for like over $300 a month, unless I have a deductible of over $1,00. I'm not sure if I'm gonna get one now, now that I see how much insurance would cost. I might go ahead and buy a house first. Damn, i really want a Z. :(

I'm 23. My insurance is about 150/month but we have been with the said company for about 17 years now (my parents have been).

If I could get insurance like that, i'd have one by now. Being 20, and on my own insurance, i've gotten quotes for like over 300/month. If it was my only car, it would be 200 a month, but I'm not sure if I want to drive a Z in the snow.

I'm considering buying a brand new Nissan Frontier, and getting a house, and then buying a Z in a year or two. I don't know what the fuck i'm gonna do.
