^^ Your english is good and I understood you however doing something that puts you and the general public is beyond stupid just like drinking and driving. I along with alot of members here agree with me and I won't judge him since I don't know him but me myself I worked hard for my Z and I value it more so because of the fact unlike these new kids who are handed a Z by their parents and try to be cool and show off to their friends and then cry about wrecking the Z.....you play and then you pay. He decided to chase the car that cut him off and he took the bait and it backfired.

whoa whoa handed a Z. I understand that you are not judging me because you don't know meand I absolutely agree with you. I worked hard for my car also like you. I started working when I was 15 years old and saved for my car. I also understand that since you worked hard for your car you wouldn't endanger your car as well as your life. I dont want you to think that I am some spoiled brat who got a nice car from his parent and does not want to live up to his resposibilty. I know I messed up. I want to be able to go back in time and re-do what I did. but I can't and that's reality. The thing is that I want to cry and for it to be over but it won't. I am just sharing my experience and hopefully other owners will learn as well as me. I still have a lot to learn I have only seen the tip of the iceberg.

First off, sorry about what happend, it sucks. Hopefully this is something the can learn from. At least no one else (including himself) was injured. I mean serious how many of us see an open stretch of road and didn't have the urge to just go WOT. But then, if you wreck, you gotta know it's nobody's fault but your own.

This is probably just common sense but, if you want to drive like a race car driver, learn how to first. If you just spent $xx,000 on a car spend the $200-$1000 on a class and track time in a (more) safe environment. If you're gonna f-up hopefully it will be somewhere, where there is not a wall or other cars to hit and both you and your car will come out in one piece. Use the time at the track to learn the limits of your car and then give yourself a wide margin in the streets. I've seen for myself how amazing the Z can be on the track. It's very forgiving for a lot of stupid driver errors but no car will be able to exceed its limits no matter how much you want (wish) it to.

no

My first car was a brand new mustang at 16 (And then another one 2weeks later when the 1st was stolen out of the driveway, hehe) and I never did stupid things - I respected the road and others on it.

Not every youth out there feels the need to drive like a tard to show how hard he is

yea dude its ok man your gonan get through it your z will be fixed and your gonna go back to driving it, hes not referring to you when he said that, its just a general statement cause alot of the young people that have an expensive car like ours, they are handed to them, maybe your not one of them, like me, so when u get it back take care of it and thats the end of it

NO i dont only mean stupid on the road, i mean stupid things in general, not everyone drives stupid on the road, i wish no one did, its one thing to drive fast and another thing to drive stupid. if your on the turpike doing 110-120 in the middle of the night with no cars around you, thats driving fast, cause you have a sports car, if your driving on a street going that same speed swerving through cars, thats driving estupido!

Imagine if someone you love had been in the car and hurt, or if you had lost a limb or something. You were very lucky, you seem to have learned your lesson, and I'm sure it will never happen to you again. Best of luck with fixing your car

I feel your pain-these guys act like they've never messed around and fuked up, I think we've all been there, not in such a nice car maybe but we have. Be more careful, hopefully you'l learn from this and it will make you a smarter driver.
