Girlfriend totalled her Nissan 300ZX turbo today

Normally, she drives like an old lady but the roads were wet from the rain this morning. The car sits very low and even a Yaris looks like a big car in the rear view mirror. Apparently, a flatbed tow-truck was behind her and spooked her so she made a quick lane change to get out of the way, spun the car, and wrapped it around a tree. Police said that had there been a passenger in the car, there would have been a fatality. She's got a few cuts and bruises but otherwise is ok.

bummer, that's a sweet car... But yes, the important thing is she's all right!

But what's the real story, she was just trying to catch up with your Yaris, right?

LT! When you told me she totalled her car, I had NO idea how bad until these pictures. I'm SO happy she's all right.

No injuries and you still have someone to hug for the holidays........ sorry about the car..... tires look good..... was there a slick spot on the road? Was it fresh rain that drove the oil to the surface?

Really does not matter.... it will not change the outcome. Give her a hug!
