Car crash.
I guess this falls under gerneral 350z.
So here's my story. Bought this car a little before my 19th birthday. I've had it for a little over a year now. Most amazing car I've ever had. If totalled I'm going to buy another. Just hopefully I've learned my leson about driveing wrecklessly. Anyway, I was pulling out of a parking lot, couldn't see over the crest of a hill to my left. Started pulling out. There was this truck flying down the road, when i saw him im in the lane closest to me, so I floored it so he wouldn't hit me, thankfully the car is quick enough that I was able to avoid him hitting me, had to turn the wheel though... back of the car spun out as soon as I got into my lane. I got bruises on my left side (ribs), but it isn't that bad, my girlfriend was in the car.. fortunatly she only got a few cuts on her feet becuase she was wearing flipflops.
Not sure if the car is being fixed yet. Might be some damage to the frame.

Glad to hear the you and the passenger are OK.
As you know, the cables holding the pole stationary are a serious hazard. They can cut a car in half. I know you are not supposed to be on the walkway, but highway engineers screwed up: the cables should break-a-way.

Beleive those are guy down wires, they support power poles....
Not sure where that hill is you mentioned, from the pictures look like the entire area is flat... Sounds like you pulled out in front of someone and punched it at the last second to miss him and lost control and ended upon the guy down wires.... I would say this is a standard mistake among young drivers, but I see a lot of older drivers doing it also.... Also looks like you had your traction control turned off (if your car had it that is)
Glad nobody got hurt tho..... Looks like you just need some panels, so I doubt it will be totaled...

Yea, I did have the traction control turned off. 
The area is mostly flat, but a little further up the road there is a bump.
From the safeway to the right.. everything goes up hill for a second and then it flattens out again.
They are Zenik Z9 Sabani 20''
went with them cause they had the chrome Z center cap.. looks pretty clean with the Z emblem on the side.

Oh man, that sucks! Atleast you and the passenger are okay.

Glad you and the passenger are OK. If it wasn't for that wire stopping your car, I think you would have been dead, because the angle of the slide would have sent you straight into the electic pole -- I think you were very lucky.
