I probably wouldn't be around today if the Z was my first car and I'm glad it wasn't, I loved having my PT Cruiser as my first car, not fast, 4 doors, and it was easy to drive. I have the Z now and I don't drive reckless at all, cause of how easy it is for something like this to happen, I mean I'm only 23 and I bought the car on my own and everything, but still....one mistake and that's it.

 

RIP

Not only do they need to raise the age limit on driving but they need to make the actual driving test more rigorous. I remember my driving test took like 3 minutes: park, reverse, stop before stop sign, and indicate; that was it..lol..

British driving tests are what all dirivng tests should be like. Most of us wouldn't even pass it our first time...

 

bummer...but the Z is more or less a loosely controlled death machine or so it seems by the rediculous amount of wreck threads lately. very sad.

 

And not gain the extra money off the registration fees? Nahhh they can't do that.

 

Yeah +1, RIP.

 

Man that Suxs, RIP

 

Sucks, my heart goes out to the family.

 

Rip

 

wish i had known about this sooner, thats 3 minutes from my house i would have visited the funeral ;\, that's terrible..

 

Play with fire and you'll get burnt.

 

Really sad

Of course your gonna say change the age to 18.... be in my shoes at 17 and tell em you should change the age to 18.

So sad really makes you want to be safe

My mom constantly makes me promise not to speed or race and I promise that to her thats basically how I control myself

 

Rip....

 

Very sad story… I can't imagine the sorrow and suffering his parents are enduring. It’s even more troubling when a parent feels guilt (and they shouldn’t). I hope that isn’t the case here. If you owe anything to your parents, it is to outlive them.

I just hope the govt or parents' group doesn't try to ban 350z's now.

 

It has nothign to do with the the driving age.. it's has to do with experience and responsibility.

I'm all for more rigorous testing requirements, but the age thing doesn't necessarily go hand in hand. (and no I'm not 18. I'll be 24 in June.)

 

I'd like to hear you say that in person, especially to his family. Especially since you were there and know the specifics of the accident. fckn noob.

 

What are you trying to say? Survival of the fittest or something? Learn to respect the dead.

RIP

 

Damn not even legally an adult yet. So sad.

 

I agree with many of you that there needs to be more rigorous testing prior to issuing a license to operate a motor vehicle, and the fees for the testing should be paid for exclusively by the person attempting to obtain such privileges. I know for me I not only paid for all of my drivers ed fees, insurance while learning, fuel while learning, but I also bought my own car. My father was kind enough to let me rebuild it, and repaint it in his garage, and to a limited extent worked on it with me, which was nice all the way around. I learned everything about that car, what made it work, how to fix it, maintain it, and to this day they are skills I use frequently. I also took care of that car like it was my first born, sure I sped from time to time, but I never got stupid. My condolences to the family and friends, but lets not try to fool ourselves into thinking the 350 had anything to do with this tragedy. It is driver experience and training at fault here. Sooner or later people are going to start caring about the real cost of human life and put the required time, energy and finances into programs that will teach our young to protect themselves from their greatest danger…… Themselves.

 

his poor younger siblings, whew!!
