Default Let my friend drive car

My old high school friend came down to visit for the holidays and saw that i got the new Z and asked if he can drive it around the block. Of course i let him. Man i did not know how powerful my car was until he drove it. Ive been goin easy on the car since im still breakin it in but i let him loose since he wont be back for awhile. he took that thing through twisty roads at high speeds double clutchin and everything. I was really amazed and scared in the passenger seat but man that was such a thrill ride. we almost t boned this superduty because he didnt see the stop sign comin up but Thank God the Z has amazin brakes. went from 90-0 in matter of seconds........ almost had a heart attacked and killed my friend.

I got t-boned in my Altima years ago. A woman in an SUV cut across a few lanes to pass stopped cars at a red signal light and tired to go through the red before colliding with my car. Damage was nauseating. Happened at rush hour on one of the most busiest intersections of the city. Never seen traffic backed up 4 ways. Woman kept insisting a green light before 5 witnesses approached and said lights turned green for perpendicular traffic. I wish I had pics of it still. Her Suburban ran over my hood.

Dude, always be careful. And never let anyone else drive your car like that. Learn how to drive it yourself and take care of it, .

Yep, the car feels so much faster when you're the passenger in your own Z. Check this post out :

Yeah, I love that computer. Always WRONG (sometimes, Really wrong) when you do the long division with the CC receipt and odometer.

Yo, what are friends for if you can't let them drive your fcukin' car? I had no problem. Yeah, it was scary ridin' shotgun and.......? One of the cheapest rushes I've had, lately.

If you want to see the full potential of the 350Z, go to FATT at Summit Point, WV. A pro will drive the first couple of laps with you in the passenger seat. Its quite an eye opener to see want the car will do in the hands of a experienced racer. Then of course its your turn to take the wheel: that's when the fun begins.

+2. If I had wimpy friends who couldn't drive, I’d ditch them fast and find new friends who can drive.
