Guy SIDESWIPES my 300zx then Blames me 

Even when Mike is mad he still can’t bring himself to be mean to someone. Good heart in him. Glad that guy got served for it

I'm so glad you were able to prove this an thank God for your witness. This guy was a true scum bag an I'm sure if the guy was nice enough the cops would have never had to been called and you guys would have been able to work something out between the two of you.

I concur with all of the comments about getting a dash cam - but not for traffic incidents. I could totally see you getting some fun footage when you're driving (and drifting) to include in your videos.

at least everyone is safe, couldve been way worse. Lovin the content

i'm not a car guy, but i do youtube stuff too, and really love your videos, how natural are you on camera and the content is amazing keep up the good work cheer mate

Bro whats your luck with collisions 😢

Yeah a dash cam is a really good idea! So many of my friends got saved by it!

Man, I admire the fact that you kept your cool and you didn't get the ticket. It could have been a lot worse. At least you're safe. And stay that way. Keep up the good work, bro. Glad being part of this journey (ever since the crash happened). By the way, once you are finally done with the 240sx, you should paint it dark blue (the dark blue of the hood and the left fender for reference, they need to be refreshed as well). It looks more fitting, in my opinion, and it'll match with the spoiler and the valve cover.

You do us young guys with modified cars justice by being cool and level headed in the aftermath of the collision. Thanks for that. It never goes well for younger drivers, let alone younger drivers with modified cars, I agree that a car cam is a must if you want any sort of legal resolve. Thank goodness for that witness that had your back. Be safe out there man.

Old people are the worst to get into an accident with. I was in my dads S10, stopped in front of a flagger on the highway who had my lane stopped to let the other lane by. I happen to glance in my rearview mirror and see a silver car coming in hot, so I hold the brakes and sit back in the seat completely. The elderly woman slammed on her brakes and steered toward the ditch to our right, flying by me bouncing through an enormous ditch after clipping the back passenger side of my dads truck. The flagger about shit himself and was prepared to jump out of the way but luckily he didn't have to. She said she was gawking to the left and didn't notice the flagger or myself. I got calls from her husband trying to convince me to not file an insurance claim, even after explaining to him it wasn't my truck so I can't make that call, he kept calling and treating me like a piece of shit, like I caused all of this. I think he knew she could lose her license due to her age/previous incidents or something.

Definitely his bumper did it right where u pointed at the edge where the bumper screws up to the fender on the caddie. That's the amazing thing with pearl white paint, there multiple layers of white so it takes more to wear through. Definitely go to court and make sure u track his date because some will reschedule it and you won't be notified of new court dates.

Saying "nice try kid" after fucking up someone's car is wild

16:45 why does it sounds like a producer tag lmao

I love how he was like "nice try kid" then proceeds to receive a ticket for hitting you lol

the audacity of that old dude to smash into you and then have the cheek to lie about it and gaslight you. do not miss the court date and make sure the arsehole gets what's deserved.

Good thing nothing major happened to the 300zx. I was in a similar situation and the person that hit me didn't even stop. A dashcam is a must have for everyone. Good luck.

sucks to see the paint all screwed up. ik the car needed a respray, but the paint was still in good enough condition, and it looked good. im sorry youve had so many issues with collisions. keep up the good content mike.

This is why I run a dash cam on my cars I'm glad it wasn't anything to serious

Someone did that to my mitsubishi CK2 Lancer pack up outside of my house...rub down my hold quarter panel...and didn't even stop

Sucks what happens with your 300. If I was in your shoes, I would have a difficult time trying to keep my cool. But you did and I highly respect that. I love your videos and keep making more. Don’t let stuff like this let get you down!

I love your videos mike. I’ve been watching since the 240 accident and I gotta say you’ve easily became my favourite RU-vidr. Keep it up man!

I’m still failing to see how it would even be remotely considered your fault lol

100 agree with the dash cam, the oldies just won't leave you alone 🤣🤣

Idk why but your videos feel like it's only 10 minutes 😂 keep up the work!!!! Always so exited when I see the sneak peaks for the new videos!

feel ur pain someone hit into my Z when I wasnt even in it. left it for 10 seconds to get something off a family friend who was outside and by the time i turn around and it got hit by their neighbors backing out lol. same shit too, super defensive elderly people, but i did apparently choose a bad place to park lol

@prizzamike You should get a P.O Box that we can send stuff too like Jimmy does 😆

Last week a guy backed up into my freshly painted 99 ek civic.. he had no insurance and I had a replacement drivers side door so I just walked away.. dude was doing door dash and was watching his phone while backing up on a busy street.. he did admit it was he's fault... Stay safe out there and remember every body is out to ruin your nice project car....

Tip, instead of welding a bolt or nut directly to a broken bolt, weld a wide washer on, to get a good weld onto the broken stud, then weld a nut around the outside onto the washer, if that makes sense.. welding down the middle of a nut very rarely works.. Good to see ya got em all out, keep up the good work! Cheers from New Zealand!

My first car was a ‘79 280ZX. Kept it 10 yrs and put 200,000 miles on it. I loved that car.

Had the exakt same Situation with a retired couple in my work van. The also sideswiped me in a S-construction narrowing. They blamed me for everything. 2 years of Court/Justice/Insurance action later my opponent insurance sued my company insurance and i had to go to court as a witness for my companies insurance. The verdict was already prewritten because I drove on left lane (My van was to broad for the left lane). So the opponents insurance got the money from my insurance. After another accident 2 years later I have a dashcam.

ahh man... that sucks.. thank god its everyone is okay, and you didnt get T-boned this time, im sure you can fix this

Your luck is unmatched 😅

Great you had a witness!! This almost exactly what happened to me!! But thankfully the dashcam footage helped the guy reverse his story of, "You're new here huh.. You rammed me!" His insurance paid for my cars repairs. About 2 months later the guard (Irish popo) rang me and asked where I got my dash cam, he said, "that footage was unbelievably good!" I was just using a second hand GoPro at the time. :D I'm a bit lazier now and have a half decent 1080P dash cam that automatically starts recording and saves on impact. That €200 GoPro saved me about 5 grand!

I wouldn’t worry about him mike, he’s literally not worth the time and the 300 is literally gunna be the best when it’s done!! Trust the process and everything that comes with it bro your a great guy!!

Oh hell no 😂 "nice try kid" what a guy!

Thia channel gives me 2010- 2012 vibes everyone is just so chill except for the guy who hit your Z of course🤣 i had to subacribe!!

It was nice to see you welding under that 240 it reminded me of your 240 rebuild 😅

My boy even had the tear away lens cleaner on the spray gun light 😂😂 next level stuff right there

You allways need a witness because if 2 people disagree even when one side is lying hard to find blame.

I love when people can’t own up to there mistakes. Shows there true character.

With every day there's another reason to paint the Z 😅 Cant' wait to see it painted with full bodykit! Keep it goin' !

12:35 THE GOLD S15??? GIMME, i have only the black and yellow one, all i miss is the gold and white ones (and the red one which is a TARGET special, but we dont have Targets in europe)

Enjoy the real feel to these videos man. Doesnt even have to be car related, still super interesting to watch. Enjoyed this one man

Fr when my brothers car was written off by a drunk and high driver who drove head on into him they tried to find reasons to say my brothers car was un-road worthy, he had a dash cam and everything that caught the whole crash. Thank God there were witnesses and heaps of reports of the other driver driving reckless prior to that, otherwise who knows what would have happened.

I think everybody has already suffered once with drivers/riders like this, my dad bought a 2021 Gray Metallic Volkswagen sedan last year, Brand new with 30,000km on it, 2 months in and a biker smashed his right mirror, he was moving and couldn't stop to get the mirror cover that got thrown away. He got a new mirror and 2 weeks after a biker lost control in the rain and shunted into his rear bumper, breaking it in the process, he's waiting for the new bumper to arrive and get painted, still to this day, even tho my dad tried polishing, there's still red paint from the motorcycle in the bumper

I don't live far from where this was recorded and I can tell you the drivers do not give a fuck. Stay safe bro.

Thank you for keeping these 300zs going man

Auto trans cars sometimes have cable actuator or solenoid on the gear selector so you can't put it into gear without pressing the brakes. So check the fuse panel for a blown fuse or even near/under the gear selector's interior pieces.

Time to get a dash camera 📸.

i sit down killing time before i leave for the track and mike uploaded nothing feels better than this

That's why I have dash cams in my cars. Walmart has a few. Their brand ON is...ok. But i also have cobra and Scosche. The Scosche one has a big screen but it's mini usb and kinda sucks. Soon to have rear facing as well. And i have that same Viper toy car

1:37 i enjoyed playing cars with you kind gentlemen

Dashcams are a must these days. 360 cams are great now. I miss my Z32.

I SUPER enjoyded the toy car part 😁. Btw jelous for the HW LBTW s15. And can we pleeese see our HW collection?

Mike what kind of rc do you and ur buddy’s use for drifting like brand and model like ik there’s all custom parts on them but what was it before you started building it lol

theres this guy here in alaska with a beautiful Nissan gloria, he's always at the car meets and big tuner empire events.

"Nice try kid" what a jerk lmao i hope you stick it to him. Screw that guy, glad youre ok. Get the dash cam bro

Such a sick video as always, luv your stuff :) What are those wheels called that are on the Gloria?

10:28 i feel your pain bro, just recently had a similar problem with my car, but seeing how much rust damage you have to fix i would suggest you find a way to tip the car 90º because you have a lot of work there.

hot wheels sells lbwk stuff at normal stores in america???? that's kind of sick

and dude props on those bolt extractions! I would've either just drilled it oversize & used inserts or cut an access hole lol

“nice try kid” made me so mad bro

Glad your ok get it a new body kit with that check stay safe g

12:35 dudeeee i have that one tooooo, siiick! How many hw do you have? Do you collect?

bro bad old drivers make for the best stories

100000% get a dashcam my dude. I can't stand dishonest people. At least own up to it man...

This exact instance is the reason all my vehicles have front and rear facing dash cams. Had a woman pull out of a parking lot and into luckily only the wheel of my truck, but she said I switched lanes when I did not. Cops showed up got her side, instead of me explaining my side I showed them the video of what happened. No arguing with a video.

The reason you have to pull-down on that red thing. On the shifter and the Gloria, this is just me. Guessing my old focus was an automatic. And when my tail lights went out, you had to point the key into the shifter interlock in order to pull back the shifter. So I'm guessing where the car was rendered. It's tripping the shift interlock in the Gloria.

I used to own a 240z about 25 years ago, it kept getting hit, over and over. one SUV driver backed over my hood as I was getting gas another crunched my driver's front quarter panel while I was backing into a parking space.

The gloria Rims are amazing love that BBS LM look

Hey Mike you probably wont see this but if you wet sand and buff it'll be minimal damage looks to be removable or try a clay bar with some lubricant. That should be the best result for that paint if you want it back.

Omar has a nice place! Especially for working on cars

I really recommend getting a dashcam with both a front and back view so this type of situation can be resolved much easily and prove you to be the victim and not the suspect.

I like the way you say you want to leave this car in factory paint, and then you get scratches all over the side. I hope it will go away when polishing

About time you got yourself a dashcam sponsorship my dude. Hopefully it wasn’t worse than some traded paint though.

I'm wondering when you plan on fixing the Gloria tbh

Travis for the 240 paint job 👌. Hopefully u get a pay out off the old dude. Like how he just denied it when you had a witness 😂

Brother invest in some front and rear dash cams. You can hardwire them hide them all that. Your vehicles seem like investments to you along with hobbies and love. Dash cam is worth the investment.

damm the Mustang hit that stop pull at least no crowds where hit 😂 I forget you have the Gloria I love it can’t wait to see more videos on it 😎

Good thing you were ok! Gotta say, man, I never ever see such Mickey Mouse driving except from old folks. The doctors don't have the heart to revoke their licenses or something. Definitely will highly recommend here you get yourself a dash cam. Getting one myself as well!

They will always put us at fault because not only are we young but because we have a “fast looking” car so everyone ALWAYS assumes that we’re speeding and definitely at fault

Quick tip , your Gloria needs a brake pedal switch to sort that shifter issue . 💯 get a dash cam . Had it happen to me with a motorbike who was ripping down the double yellow centre lines , 8k on a lawyer and it's gone but that was a sh#t experience

It's incidents like this that make me not ever want to drive a car on the road. Always roll with a dashcam. The police will not help you. In fact in cases such as this, the police can actually hurt you in court. I personally had an instance where the other party side swiped my car. They we're issued a ticket for no drivers license and the police report actually said that I was the one at fault. This was a complete disaster for me. With no dashcam footage, I had no way to prove my case. So my car still bares the damage to this day. The other party did not show up for court, the case was thrown out. The judge cited that, there was damage under $2,000 done to my vehicle. And that was that. Case dismissed.

I'm an 18-year-old and proudly own a 2019 Toyota Gt86 TRD Special Edition. I was driving in heavy traffic and basically, this lady cut into my lane at a high rate of speed. I called the cops immediately after calling my parents to let them know what happened. Basically, no witnesses stopped or anything, and I kinda was left to fight for myself. I told the State Trooper what happened and the lady was given the ticket and was put at fault. Which I later found out that the lady told the cop that I merged into her lane and hit her. It sucks that people don't want to own up to their mistakes. But when my car returns, I will definitely be getting a dashcam.

Time to invest in a good dash cam I think 😅 don’t cheap out on them either. I’ve had a cheap one and it was horrible. Then paid nearly 1k for a 4k front and rear setup and it’s perfect, super clear footage. No mistaking who hit who in a situation like that

In my only accident we both got tickets but the other driver had to pay my damages because he was still at fault. It's always a nightmare that's why it's good to have insurance so they can deal with that.

Same happened to me bro.. my brand new GT86 needs a new bumper, hood and radiator support

Same thing happened to me I got side swiped 2 days after finishing the build and guy lied said I turned into him now I have to go to court for all of it 🤦‍♂️ glad your good tho man fr 🙏

Well you said it at 5:34 Fact is the law and insurances term younger people, new drivers, and overly aged drivers as "high risk" for causing more accidents. Worst yet the kind of car you drive, the condition of it, the condition on YOU (yeah they will profile and have a presumption based on that) Just get dash cams for the cars. Heck, I'm sure some company can sponsor something. But it is an investment that will go a long way with you, especially with what you have.

good shit staying calm

About the dash cams, concidering your luck on the roads, I would strongly recommend yeah

If you get a 3/8 copper pipe slide it veo broken end and fill it with weld first slide the copper off weld on nut to the shaft youve made of weld should help

Garmin dash cam mini 2 is what I have in my SUV. my IS300 has a bigger one that uses suction cup dont like it too much honestly. The mini2 seems like what I'll be buying for my next cars as well. since its soo small and discrete and cheap. The garmin app it uses works great on iphone and android.

Prizzamike: *exists* NPCs: “GET ME HIS CAR!”

almost wanna say i guessed that cadi model, i cant say this for all of those drivers, but most of them are crazy. one of them almost merged into me, luckily i had another lane i could use tho. i would say unfortunate for you, but it looks mostly repairable, and seems like you might be getting a check.

Come for the project cars. Stay for the project yard.

Typical reaction it seems with fender benders these days 😢 I had one recently with an older lady and luckily she took full blame and even called her insurance right away. I hope it's easy moving forward for you.

I love where it’s a no fault wrecks. Both just exchange insurance and done

Dude follow up on that court date dont let that slide, that guy needs an attitude adjustment, and yes dash cam plz,

How u laughed it off was the only car not crashed ur a goat my dude
