+1 on what Vegas FD said. I just totaled my 2003 Turbo charged 350z two weeks ago and my insurance didn't cover my aftermarket parts. They said if I had told them what I had and paid extra for there coverage that it would of all been covered. I spent over 18k on upgrades. Call your insurance ASAP.

I feel the same way, but mine's all in service in under a year of ownership.

Not near as much as your amount, but for a 20 yr old college kid, yikes!

(And no, i'm not posting the amount but it's more than 10k, and it's going in the shop again)

Based on the presence of a cop in the pics, it's probably long after the accident took place

Thanks for all the kind words guys. As for the accident. I was driving around 40mph and a SUV changed lanes right into my car. First thing that came to my mind was swerve out of the way. Well when I turned the wheel to the right I went into some wet grass and the light pole was right there. I had no control it just happened so fast. Believe me I wish I let the guy hit me. No one was hurt other than my poor 350z.

The only good thing that I am getting out of all this is that now I can buy another FD RX7. I used to have a black 1994 PEP RX7. Man I miss that car! I can't wait to find another one.

P.S. Sorry about taking over your Thread.

WOW! I'm almost POSITIVE I've seen you and your car around. I'm the guy with the FD that's always parked at my dad's station on Dempster and Greenwood. I'm pretty sure you've come by a few times.

You know a buddy of mine named Saad, by any chance? He also owns a 350 Z TT (APS). Damn I can't believe that **** happened to your car. I'm getting show-car insurance for this EXACT reason. Goodluck with everything. If you end up getting the RX-7, hit me up sometime and we can cruise or whatever. Later.

Yes I have seen your RX7 it’s beautiful BTW. I’ve also met Saad and his black 350z at a car wash, very nice guy. I love his new HRE wheels. Everyone that has spent big money on there car should get that extra insurance. I learned the hard way. Ill never do that again. Rizwan PM me who did your work on the RX7? Thanks.
