So what failed? Or did you get hit?
2nd paragraph last post. I would re-type but I'm on my phone. My worry is the level of impact the car took hidden things could be broken. The shock tower is mushroomed cracked and shifted- the main issue.Quote:

Strut helps to prevent this. Too late now, I know.
Glad you, or anyone else escaped injury...
zhp, that looks bad. If there is enough damage under there, this could be a total. My biggest fear, when stuff like this happens, is that there will be a lot of damage and the insurance fixes it.
Please keep us posted.
will be put back up at a later date
For whatever reason, our cars tend to be more expensive to insure. I'm thinking it has to do with the cost of repairs when accidents do occur.
In my unprofessional opinion, this looks like a total. If you see this not getting repaired to your satisfactory, be sure to take it to your favorite auto body shop (so they can shoot it and declare it dead).
Whatever happens I am determined to not leave the zhp mafia. :)
I hope they don't say it's totaled...unless thats what you want.
I don't want it to be totaled obviously. However, if the level of damage is such that it should be and they try to fix it anyway I will not be happy. I'm not going to know the extent of the damage until it's on a lift.
If it does end up being totaled, just be sure to replace it with another ZHP.

Already did it! Rain bedamned....this car is too fun to drive! By next month I may have 70,000!
Lance, that's a crack up. Glad you're enjoying the car.
What did you drive before this?
Better yet. Introduce yourself in the New Members section and tell us what you used to drive before this.
110000 miles.
Dane if you catch up to me before I get my car back I keeeeeeell you. :)N
jk
Lol
99500 miles. Getting ready for a maintenance overhaul.
Drove to Knoxville, TN and back to Raleigh, NC over the week end to visit wife's family. Had a blast on the curvy roads near NC/TN border mountain area.
Put 800 miles on the car and i am bummed that it now has a staggering 17k miles. :( :(
You are so ghey. I hate you.
LOL! :D I knew i would get a hate comment - haha :) was hoping you would see it, Dane!
was j/k - i am not bummed at all - i like the fact that the UDM actually gets driven, finally !
Any chance you hit US 29 or the Cherohala Skyway? Used hit 29 on motorcycle trips down there- 318 curves in 11 miles if I remember correctly. Was intense. I'd love to do it in a bimmer.Quote:

In case you decide to try it. Did a lot of riding in a lot of places and those were the most challenging and enjoyable roads I ever rode.
Bought in August with 75k miles. I now have 84.5k miles on it and It's only December. =D
At least your having fun and driving it! Ive clocked a whopping 275 miles in almost the same amount of time.
Exactly. I have put a thousand miles on my car since getting back to San Diego with it in August.
Why?
Since it was bought, it has participated in at least 3 autocrosses and 1 track day at Lime Rock Park. I don't mess around... lolQuote:

My goal is to get it where I want it slowly over the winter and drive the balls off it spring and summer.
'06 CPO bought in May 09, with about 42K, now have about 49K. I work from home so that's why the low miles.
2004 Sedan (for the kid, of course). 133,800 and running up fast. Strong as an ox.
