Well, I posted back in early March, because I had just bought my new Z3. ( http://web.utk.edu/~bhuskey1 ) A few months and about 6,000 miles later, I am posting because I wrecked her over the week-end.

A friend of mine has posted some pics of the damage. Apparently, I rolled the car. I don't remember the wreck or even a few minutes before it. After the car came to a stop, I tried to start it. (I was a little bit dazed due to the head wound.) I hadn't quite figured out how bad the wreck was. I called information to get the non-emergency number, so that I could report it and get a tow. When the police officer arrived, she had other ideas --- such as the ambulance that took me to the hospital - but that is a whole other story.

I've not gotten word from the insurance company yet, but I figure it is totaled. At least we had some fun - we did the Dragon's Tail over Easter.

I've been out of it for a bit, so I have to ask... any incentives on Z3's right now?


I'm trying to establish how sturdy the roll hoops are and if they support the weight of the car. Yours don't appear marked, so my guess is that you rolled and ended right side up, correct? Also, do you know if you struck something before you rolled? It has always been my understanding that unless you hit something that you "cannot" roll a car like this, but I don't really know if that's the case. Do you have any injuries? Best Wishes!
