Message Well I’m not one of many words, but in this instant I do have a few words to say. The last time I logged on to twinturbo.net it was a little over a month ago. You may ask why. Here is why.


yes, thats blood

tight squeeze....


can this be brought back to life?


Yes, she is gone. She is beyond repair in my books, because it’s not worth it anymore. I love my Z as many of you out there love your Z. You may think speeding, street racing or just horsing around. Nope. I was just trying to go home, this happened in an intersection and I had the green light. A stupid moron ran the red light or tried to beat the yellow light with a delivery van.
The reason why I haven’t said anything or told you guys, well it’s that I have been busy or at least trying to keep myself busy. The fact is for the first few weeks of the accident I did not want to look at my Z or think about it. Yes I was depressed. Call it what you want, but I was afraid to face the fact that she was gone, crushed out of my life. Depression really is a bitch.
Well here is how it all played out.
August 26, 2004. 8:00 a.m. Woke up to go to school to pay my tuition, money I rather put into my Z but hey my education is important to me just as is my Z. 8:30 a.m. –grandmothers house to pick up some extra cash for school ( tuition went up…again). 8:45 a.m. on my way to the bank to withdraw more money. 8:50 a.m. bank is closed. I decided to go home to wait till the bank opens. 8:59 a.m. waiting at a red light. 9:00 a.m. middle of intersection and bammmmm, glass flying, bone crunching, agonizing pain. My head was busted open some how, blood rolling down my back, my entire body crushed between the door or what’s left of it and the center console. It took me a few moments to realize what had happened.
9:15-9:20, police show up, follow by fire department and ambulance and rush me to the hospital to get sown up.
Anyways all this sucks. I lost my Z. But what I realize from all this after a few weeks of sulking around is that I’m glad to be alive. After I took a real good look at the car a few weeks later I noticed that if the van had hit me a few more inches towards the front of the car, I would have been injured more badly or worst, death. So to those out there thinking there King Kong and that they’re immortal, face it guys and gal….life is short and fragile... anything can happen at anytime.

Is this an end of a chapter in my life? I think not…..350Z here I come….well as soon as this damn insurance check comes in…….

On a side note……anyone looking for a crashed twin turbo, 5 speed? Car has 97,000 miles. Engine in great shape, new turbos needed, it was my plan to do that but now I can’t.

Or to be reborn again….looking for a twin turbo shell. :)
