ALWAYS wear your seatbelts...
Posted by: Tony D
Date: August 19, 02:53PM

This happened Saturday afternoon after a Z-Event in L.A. The truck you see behind the 1970 240Z came from the right of the photograph frame at 50 mph and took the Z in the RF Corner while it was making a left turn. Bystander commentary annotated at the below link:

I'm concerned with all the rampant sex and nudity on TV but all I can do is sit at home shaking my fist.

Wow, One less first gen Z out there now. He was very luckey he was hit in the right front instead of a direct T-bone on the passenger door. Seat belts do save lives, a "broken clavicle" is minor compared to what it would have been if he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. At least he's alive so he can sue the Sh#T out of the truck driver. I hope he get's enough to buy a couple of Z's

Maybe get someone from the forum to re-teach you to overcome your now fear of driving the car you love. I'll do it and give you a bill for a thousand bucks an hour, should be good in about 40 hrs of coaching and riding. You can sue for the therapy as well.

I am the guy taking the photos, dudes. This was someone else on the forum who posts infrequently.

I just got this e-mail:

"The Windshield Still Resideth There...

North east corner of Sepulveda and Normandie partially nestled in the sacred fruit box from Costco alongeth with other magical plastic and vapor chromed talismans...
Falcon tow really cleaned up."

So you locals can go pick up swarf if you so choose!

So how is the driver of the p/u truck?

Did you let him/her live or did the tow service just sweep up the pieces?

Good to hear the driver is OK. Sucks about the Z. However it is interesting to note that no major cabin intrusion has occurred as a result of this impact. The bright side of things for the rest of us Z car drivers so to speak.

Did the P/U driver get the large caliber lead injection he so richly deserves?

"He" was a she and was transported to the hospital as well.
Not good to witness, but glad there was not a more traumatic outcome.
An observation; The SU's on the engine are toast.

Do you think hell try to fix it or send it to the scrap yard or what?

Fix It?

Dude, that car is beyond economical repair even in SoCal!

Scrap Yard? It's in my back yard right now, if that's any indication. Eventually it will end up scrapped I suppose. But right now he's recovering.

We can figure out what to do with it later, when he's feeling better. And after his wife has the kid next month!

This came,IMO, at a bad time for him. I would not like to get a call when I was 8 months pregnant.

Though, on the upside, he's probably going to be home for a couple of weeks---which means he probably will have plenty of bonding time with Junior!
