Angry Ouch

Well, looks like the Z is going to be totaled. While sitting at a red light yesturday, I got hit in the rear by a truck doing about 50 mph and he never tried to stop. It was the hardest hit I have ever experienced. I hurt all over my body and have 61 stitches in my head.
I am going to try and buy back the Z and part it out so stay tuned.
Man I am going to miss that car, it was my baby.

Sorry to hear that. If that happened to me I would be right now. Better take it easy for a while and just be thankful you are still alive. 61 stiches are a lot to have in your head.

Sorry to hear that man, but glad you survived. 61 stiches in your head sounds painful.

What was the driver's excuse for rear-ending you?

Bad Luck

Bad luck, but a perfect excuse to move up to the LS-1 cars.

Well, I got the news that the Z was totaled...I am going to try and buy it back and if I can, I will have several pretty nw add ons to sell like the paul Barry coated headers, CAI, STB, rims and tires, off road pipe. The cat back is pretty much gone and I will have to check the Sub frame connectors out to see if they are still good. I will strip the car of everything and sell it by the part......This all depends on if they will sell it back at a good price.
By the way, thanks for the concerns and I do wish I was back home in Texas.

How did you get injured? I can't figure out how being hit from the rear would do this, unless you didn't have your seat belt on.
