Default does it really matter?

Smashing into a toll both like that at 100mph, coupe or convertible, you are toast. Sucks to be her and all, guess that goes to show, dont drink and drive unless you can bear with the consequences of your actions. Also, I really dont think she minds that much...she's dead!

There are so many versions of this story no one knows whats true, all we know is she took her dads porsche out clipped a honda and hit a toll both at 100+. What would you have to do to a z to make this crash safe. Full race roll cage, helmet hans system? I want to put a roll cage in my z any suggestions?

This is a part of life. She made decisions and took chances that affected a lot of people. If one 16-25 year old person sees these photos and doesn't drive recklessly, then her death has served some good.

At 100 + miles per hour, her father's Porsche was a 3,000 pound bullet! She fortunately only hit one car, before before the final impact. On that day, she was a menace to life on the road.

The driver's age/sex/looks/type of vehicle/number of friends/etc, are completely irrelevant! If more people saw the results of bad decisions, maybe they would not do what she has done.

She committed criminal acts by her blatant and depraved disregard of the law. I feel sorry for the man she injured and nearly killed. I feel sorry for everyone at the scene.

Those images, will forever remain with those people. I feel especially sorry for the people that had to remove and clean up her remains.

If the driver had been an old drunk man, who hit a hot young girl/guy in a 350Z, everyone would say, "F*uck Him!"


Think Before You Drive And Don't Drive When You're Angry.

****100 Miles per Hour = 146.73 Feet per Second****

****146.73 Feet = 48.91 Yards****

Almost Half The Length Of An Entire Football Field In One Second!

I thought we've all seen that Porsche crash! It was posted here a while back. I think all young drivers should see it, it might save a life someday.

.....aaaaaand she was drunk too, if the original story is to be believed. I wouldn't even look at the pics from that accident. I just watched the expressions of people that did. That was enough for me.

Here is the story bout Nikki (18 years of age) before crashing her dads Prosche .....





The night before she died, Nikki had gotten into an argument with her father about "typical teenager stuff," Christos Catsouras said.

He disciplined her by taking away the keys to her car.

Nikki's mother said her daughter wasn't feeling well Oct. 31. She had a 3 p.m. appointment to see a doctor.

Christos Catsouras had lunch at home that day. He works five minutes away at a real estate office.

He recalled telling Nikki before he went back to the office that he loved her. She blew him a kiss and flashed him a peace sign.

After he left, Nikki walked to a key rack in the house and took the keys to her father's $150,000 Porsche – which Nikki had never driven, her father said.

The keys were hanging where they always were, with all the others.

Lesli Catsouras heard the garage door open and the car leave and called her husband, who called 911. He immediately drove around looking for her.

Nikki had taken off down the Eastern (241) Toll Road in his black 911 Carrera.

As she tried to pass a car that was going about 70 mph, she clipped it and lost control of the Porsche, the CHP said.

She slammed into a toll-booth building at Alton Parkway in Lake Forest.

Christos Catsouras' mind continually goes back to his last moments with his daughter.

Every day, he said, he kisses his daughters goodbye.

That day, he didn't kiss Nikki. In an interview, his eyes welled up. He fell silent.

Lesli Catsouras sat next to him, staring blankly ahead, her arms tightly crossed.

"She was our child," she said.

I think there's a lot of details missing from this story. When this was posted in the PM section the story was quite different and it came from the cop that posted the pics (from a different site). I'm not sure why the cop would make the story up.

The story I read was she was under the influence, got into a fight with her father and managed to take the porsche out without him knowing it. Even if she had never driven the car before she was 18 years old NOT 12 or 13. What I'm getting at is she new how to drive. Why would her parents flip out and immediately call 911? Because she had never driven the car before? I highly doubt it.

I might be completely wrong but I would think the reason they called 911 is because they knew she was a danger to herself and to everyone on the road around her. She was either very upset, under the influence, or both.

BTW this took place on Halloween.

edit: It appears to have taken place at 1:45 pm so alcohol could probably be ruled out. I still think the reason her parents called 911 was because she was in some state of emotional distress.

[QUOTE=dutchboy350Z]

The story I read was she was under the influence,


The results of the autopsy showed there was no sign of alcohol in her system neither any drugs. I think she was just very upset

Yeah I edited my post ... it happened 1:45 in the afternoon.

Supposedly her neighbors saw her speeding out of the neighborhood at a high speed and they called 911.
I guess her parents did as well because they knew the shape she was in (emotionally) she shouldn't have been driving any vehicle let alone a Porshe.
