About a month ago, I was involved in an accident in which the car rolled over a few times.? Money wise, I really didn't care that much as I was lucky to be alive.? I had pics too, but for some reason, I felt kind of embarrassed about showing people at the time

[/quote]Not the 545, but I'll post some pics when I get the chance.
I recently went on a quite spirited canyon run through Malibu with a few M3s, e36 and e46, so the e60 is doing just fine.

No real update on my car yet. Been playing phone tag with my insurance for the past 3 days ... i don't think anybody will actually go out to look at the car yet .. however on the ins. little point chart it scored a 26 .. anything over 20 has the potential to be written off as a Total Loss.
IMO ... i doubt they will write it off as a Total Loss.
After looking at the car again in person on tuesday this week .. i still cannot believe how well it performed.
Simply amazing. Especially when you consider that i walked off with a sprained wrist as some minor back & neck pain.
to any of the doctors here ... I noticed that i had some blood in my ear .. and on my pillow for the first few days after the accident .. any idea what this MAY have been caused by? i couldn't hear for the first 2 days out of my left ear either ... I'm guessing from the airbags deploying on my side & the sound of the impact?!
I will post once i get updated on the car.
Again - Thank You all for your support.

The air bag deployment might have ruptured your tympanic membrane (ear drum). If your hearing does not improve in the next few days or if you continue to notice blood on your pillow you should go to an Otorhinolaryngolist (ear, nose and throat doc)

Those pictures take the meaning of SPIRITED DRIVING to a whole new high, huh?
I have to say .. the 350z does handle well though.
Very nice! Glad you walked from that ... looks like if you'd have skidded another 20ft & it would've been a different story, ehh? I'm guessing that was a total loss write off?
