Didn't see it coming

One minute I'm cruising up I-85 and the next I'm being pushed violently to the right, with the sound of crunching metal. It was difficult getting the Z under control and in the emergency lane.

Thank goodness there was no one on my right or the 18-wheeler would have made me into a sandwich. The truck driver said he checked his mirror and didn't see anything so he moved into my lane. I am very careful to not get in the blind spots of any trucks, but I never saw him, he just slid up on my left and then tried to eat my car.

The local shop says $13K to fix my 2011 roadster, so I'm guessing their insurance will total it. Still waiting on them. The big surprise was the suspension damage. The wheels looked clear to roll, and I made it back in traffic, but once I hit 55 mph I noticed that I was having steering issues. I was 2.5 hrs from home, but I made it with my emergency flashers on the entire time. When I got home I noticed the rear left wheel was canted outward, so there is also damage to the rear suspension.

Be careful out there! Wish I had words of wisdom -- with a small car you are always going to be hard to see.

First little cruise with the Z. Like a cloud on corners with the sport suspension.

About 80 miles round trip. Had some chances to take some corners with a little more gusto and she handled beautifully. Great car fun to drive missed having a manual.

I’m thinking about getting REV9 coils for my car, and I’m not too sure if i should replace the spring buckets in the rear. I hear and see people slam their cars with no replacement, but i also hear otherwise and I’m not sure if I should buy toe arms yet, or wait and see how my alignment is

Finally installed the module that arrived from alibaba.

Android auto and apple car play work flawlessly. I was worried the screen is too small, but it looks really good and really bright.

Because i have no AUX unit, I had to play around with bluetooth settings to habe sound, but it all works!

I bought the unit and followed youtube video from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/370z/comments/1rxdoyv/android_module_nav_system_adapter_upgrade/

Big thank you u/mrtbjoe

Under the 25th Street bridge in Cleveland Ohio is a stripped Z, Orange in color, front end gone. Friend works near by and saw it and called me. I wanted to inform the community. I’d be a mess if my Z was stolen.

Question Looking into buying first 370z

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, im new to the Z group and world and Ive actually been dreaming on getting a 370z since i was a teen, and I think Ive found one:

2009 370z auto (what i want), completely stock and clean inside & out, and no crazy rust on the underside of the car. Plus the carfax show a good upkeep and regular maintenance throughout the years (4 owners with maintenance shown)

For about 7k, but because the one downside is its got 190k miles, and ive seen people vouch for high mileage cars but only with good maintenance history. But should i pass this one up? Thanks in advance 🙌
