Crashed my Z, trying to have it fixed at the first time, had the car towed to the most shady body shop in the world, took them 3 months just to order a hatch and put on the car w/o painting it, being a cheap *** and insured with E-Surance, finally figure out a way to have the car totaled, and took me another month to get my check. End of ordeal, lesson learned, still not a replacement Z for me yet.

 

well this doesnt have to do w/ my 350z but a while back when i had my 1990 LS 400 i was workn on the engine and soon had to drive my friend home, so i was driving her home around 40mph at around 10pm the hood comes flying up scaring the **** outv us and i couldnt even see after that, my smart *** forgot to close it completely, i was lookin through a small area between the hood and under neath the hood i soon stopped and it closed.

 

I saw a funny thing... I worked at a place with a storm drain in the middle of the parking lot. Covering the storm drain was a concrete block about 3 ft. square and 2 ft. high with openings on four sides for water to enter the drain. I'm outside one day when I hear a LOUD thud. I look around and see that a guy in a pickup had nailed the corner of this concrete block with his front bumper. He had enough momentum that the entire truck popped-up and landed on top of the concrete block with all four wheels off the ground and the back wheels still spinning. It was quite a sight. Needless to say, his front bumper looked like a huge V in the middle!

 

Speaking of parking...

 

One afternoon my mom asked if she could drive around the block...so I let her. So she does good all around the block and I tell her to start heading back. Well we get to my garage she opens it and drives in. Well knowing my luck she pops the clutch charging into my outside refrege. needless to say....poor front lip.

 

My car was 2-3months old and I just finished breaking her in. Then I come across a stoplight and I see Jason from performance nissan in front of me. I was saying wow he has a nice car. My car was bone stock back then. So when the light turned green he gunned it and gave chase. I put my car in manual mode and we hit it to about 55-60 in a 45 and I made the pass. He gave me a wave and I waved back and got in front him. I was lookin in my rear veiw checkin out his car (Nismo full aero kit,CF hood) and then came to another light. He went on the fwy and I kept going straight. I thought my car was still in manual mode ( but it was in "D") and I push the shifter up. All of the sudden the engine was redlining and the car was screaming. I was like WTF??? . I realized I threw her in neutral. I was like OMG. So at myself. Then I put it back in drive and took it easy from there and nothing happend to her but it was a scare for sure. Never made that mistake again.

 

I was racing this s10 xtreme on a rainy day going about 70 on a 4 lane rd. We were neck to neck until this angled turn came up ahead. He slowed down and my dumb a@@ accelerated for some reason. My back started to give out, so I tried to compensate for this by turning the wheel the other way. If I hadn't done this, I would have slammed into a sign on the right side. When I did this, my car started doing a 360...720.....1080....at this point, I was bracing onto the wheel, just waiting to hit something. Somehow, through all that spinning, it just so happens that the median was one of those ones that are just grass and had no edge. My car went straight through the median and between two trees, which i swear I should have hit. They were about 2 carlengths apart! I finally stopped spinning, which at this point was in the lane of oncoming traffic. Luckily, my car was facing the direction I was supposed to be going and there were NO cars coming my direction. There were so many variables that could have come into play which would have contributed in me wrecking my car.....I almost $hit my pants!! The guy in the s10 saw the whole thing as he was behind me. I got home going like 10 mph and all that happened to my car was that there was a bunch of dirt in my rear fenders because I went through the median. There was dirt and grass everywhere on the bottom of my car. God saved my a$$ that day, and I will never be that dumb again....

 

I was coming out of Del Tacos drive thrpugh, handing my wife her soda. I cut a corner too short and went on the pavement with right wheel. I still wonder how it climbed it. Anyways the girl in the truck behind me told my wife to get out and I had to do a lot of screeching on reverse before the car would come off. The control arm got scraped . I was embarassed.

 

Most amazing post yet !!

 

Someone door dinged me horrifically and I have nightmares about it and park away from everything all the time. I wish that hadn't happened...

 

Man, words cant describe how crazy it was. After that "event" as I like to call it, I'm very cautious on where I push the limits of the car. Whenever I drive by that area, (which I do every day from work) I think to myself, DAMN I'M LUCKY!!!! I should have played the lotto that day

 

I saw something similar to this, except some idiot had his car dangling on a very high median. It looked rediculous. I guess he was trying to make a u-turn, but failed to see the MEDIAN. The police were there, and i bet my car that they gave him a breathalizer test.

 

I was speeding on a 4 lane street doing 60. As I approach the intersection, a sedan turning left made a sudden illegal lane change into my lane. I couldn't pass it on the right lane becos there was another car ahead of me. If I try stopping my Z then I will rear end his *** for sure going at that speed. 'When a dog is in danger he will jump the wall'. So I pulled a 'fast & furious' act by going to the wrong side of the road aganist on coming traffic. As soon as I past the intersection while still in the wrong lane I pulled back across the middle double lane divider and into my lanes. At the same time I could hear all the horns went off from the other side of the road of the cars that I 'missed'. Afterwards I was in shock that I 'made it'. My pulse was in orgasm for like 10 minutes. I felt so lucky and yet so stupid that I could do something like that...my bad, my bad, go ahead and flame me cos I deserve it.

 

Funny stuff... 1st time i ever went to the track was such a newb, get all ready to launch reving at 2500 lights go off its GREEN and my car isin't even in gear. Lol I forgot to put her in first! So then i sat there for a couple of seconds

 

^ nice but stupid and very dangerous.

 

 

drifting on the street was stupid enough, not seeing the cop was outright moronic.

 

Not that this has anything to do with my Z, but I did impail my 20k jet boat on a McDonald's menu board one time while trying to get a Big Mac....
