Tim240z Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Went out on the bike to get some injector cleaner. Came back to find the Z had rolled down the driveway into the Z28. Back tail panel is F_CKED! I'm totally disgusted!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim240z Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 Although I'm absolutely furious, and fit to be tied (boy I hope a telemarketer calls tonight ), it is only a car (although I've put my lifeblood in it), and it can be fixed, and I did get absolutely full insurance on it, and I have already talked to my neighbor (who is an estimator at a bodyshop) about getting it fixed, I am disappointed that it won't be done for the Show. Could have been wayyyy worse!!! If I had decided to use the Z28 instead of the ZX-7, it would have run all the way down the driveway into the electric pole, or into the neighbour's living room) and then it would have likely been too far gone to fix. Oh well....these 'bumps' in life are supposed to build character, right?.... man I'm pissed...I'm gonna have a Captain's and coke, or as we say in the 'Old Country'...Spook and Diesel...

z-REX Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 just remind them ever so gently that you gave them your money first... and they're there to serve YOU. i've had to take the hardline approach with one of them and my check came so fast my head spun!

CruxGNZ Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Oh DAMN! Ouch. Well, get it fixed and life will be good again. Don't have to many drinks tonight . If it makes you feel any better, last week about 9'ish at night, I started my Z up while parked in the driveway. I then turned on the running lights and left the car, so it can warm up a little. I went inside grabbed a glass of water from the 'fridge, looked out side to see the cool looking Z just parked there 8) , turned around to get some more water, then turned back and didn't see the running lights anymore... I dashed out the door to see my Z went down the driveway and for some reason veered to the right and into the neighbors front yard instead of it going straight down the driveway and into traffic. No damage was done, but it was embarrassing. I forgot to set the e-brake !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 WOW man that does suck! How does the insurance co. handle custom work like that? Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Sorry to hear about the bump, but that's no reason not to bring the car to the MSA show. You're not backing out that easy We can put a chair in front of the damage so no one can see it or you can claim you got bumped by Dale Jr. after you lapped him at Cal Speedway. I showed my 240 last year with a dented hood after Bryan bumped a BMW at LVMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
