Slipped on black ice, busted bum.

I gotta to be the unluckiest guy ever, so 2 days before i leave, I was running my last couple or errands. I was done so decided to go buy dinner. After thinking for a long time, I figured i would go to this place i haven't been to in a really long time. So while i was on my way there, there is this place that is kinda like a tunnel, while going though there at around 25mph the tail breaks lose, and my nose is headed straight for a wall, I try to correct it but the car spins 540 degrees as as i slam on my brakes (note now i'm facing on coming traffic) The car almost comes to a complete stop then i hear BANG! my rear end slams into the concrete side barrier. Now i have a destroyed rear bumper and the body right under the driverside taillight is all dented and scratched up. So all the money i was saving for mods goes into fixing the car. Anyone know how much it is to buy a rear bumper?

I'm really depressed i'll take pics later.


Here are pics lol. I'm so pissed off, Tell me what you guys think.

+1 - that's about what mine cost. Buy it from Riverside, then get it painted locally.

Thanks guys, Yeah i have insurance but it's 1 k deductible, I might just take it to the dealer body shop to get a quote too see how much it is. Lol have this as a beater and get the new 370z? I wish hahaha. I hope i can make it look just like new, I don't want to have it so that it looks like it's been worked on. Plus do you think i can take off the splash guards on this car and just install on the new bumper?

So your running Eagle RS-A's then eh? Those arent the greatest past 20,000km. Thats what I found with mine. I tossed them at 40,000km.


Good luck with the fix.

No idea just stock, i only have 4.5k miles on them. I guess i just got really unlucky, Well lucky no cars hit me while i was spinning like a top.

Now that i think about it there was 0 tire squeal which means i had 0 traction.

Sorry to see this, but if it was black ice tires wouldn't have made much of a difference. I run stock RS-As too and while they definitely not the best they are IMO no worse than other all-seasons I've had in past winters and held their own in yesterday's NE storm. Be glad that you didn't hit anybody or didn't get hit by anybody when it happened.... get it fixed in a good body shop and it should look brand new.
