this picture makes me sad. hurts to look at. what do you think?

Good thing it's only a Golden Toad, and not a CLASSIC 240Z. Now, THAT would make me sad. :devious:

That 350Z got knocked down a peg or two! Than does

hurt to see --- Have you driven or ridden in one yet?

They grab your butt and hold it still when you turn!

Proves my point about how ill-equipped most people really are to drive even a sports car safely. Some of the people today could total an Abrams tank if they were given the chance.

Bet it won't be long before someone is doing a V-6/6speed swap into an early Z! Don't forget to get the wheels/brakes too!:devious:

I believe there have been numerous postings here concerning everyone's fixation with going fast, and not thinking about the consequences of not having the ablilities to handle the car, or not having their cars up to the task. This is a perfect example of what "street racing" can end up in, whether you are racing against another car, or just your own ego........

Anyone want to start a contest to guess how few miles are on that car? My bet would be less than 4K on the odometer.

Definitely and improvement, the owner fixed those god awful headlights, maybe his next shot will fix the rear end as well

I can't believe what I'm reading...aren't you guys even concern about the driver or/and passenger (s) that came upon this horrific accident??? have you guys EVEN consider that MAYBE another driver was at fault???:disappoin ... this really saddens me…

NO!

if they had their seatbelts on (as they should have) this should not have been anything more than an "E" ticket ride.

Sorry, I guess I'm the only one who doesn’t know the meaning of "E ticket ride"...explain please....

My guess that this is no ordinary breakers yard This looks very much like a police compound, My guess that there is a little more to this story than meets the eye!

Cels240:

At Disneyland, back in the "old days", before the price of admission included unlimited trips on all of the attractions, you were given a book of tickets as you entered the park. The tickets were labeled A, B, C, D, and E. You got quite a few of the A, B, C, tickets, but only a few of the D or E tickets.

The Merry-Go-Round or other lesser ("tame") attractions required an A, B, C, or D ticket for a ride or entry. The very best, or WILD i.e FUN attractions, required an "E" ticket. To those of us who came of age in the 60's and 70's; an "E ticket ride" was synonymous with the best or wildest ride you could expect.

My point was that if you'll notice, the damage appears completely external to the passenger cabin. No busted windshield either. In a modern car such as the 350Z, with seatbelts properly used, and todays front and side airbags, and crush zones built into the chassis to absorb the energy of a crash; the occupants probably only have "Skidmarks in their Shorts" to show for the incident.

Carl (still un-P.C.)

that was the best discription of the car that I have heard the "golden toad " that hits the nail on the head. And I agree about being thankful it wasent a 240. They can just go get another toad.

golden toad or not, still a z to me...perhaps bastardized son, but do you love them any less? haha, well just remember to keep it safe during the holidays guys. have a good one.
