Another one bites the dust...

Well, the max should be claimed totaled and I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on the best place to find a 300ZX TT (thinking 1991).

The rear end slid out and in the wrong direction. I was changing lanes to the right (gradually) and it slid right instantly. Along came a fed ex truck and I plowed his rear. Of course, he suffered 2 horrific paint chips.
It doesn't make any sense since the car is FWD and wasn't moving any direction too fast, but w/e. There wasn't even any ice anywhere else on the interstate. It was raining and 35*. Goofball crap.

My '96 slid into a pile of snow. No damage though thank god. Check Craigslist and eBay for the 300ZX.

LOL, undoubtedly, but I'd care about that car. The max was just a "point A to B with speed" car.

300ZX TT is sex in my book. I call every nice 350 or inifiniti "baby".
I say hi and bye and stare at their asses, especially the G37.

Omg, what happened to the rear end? It's like it had a few kids and got fat and ugly.

Maybe it's just the white. White kind of makes me cringe haha
