Although you may have your opinion, i think you have no personality what so ever and you just let us al know. People make mistakes..Anyway, glad you are ok, hopefully youll get another one soon.

I would not recommend that you get another sports car until you can handle something a little more tame, stick with your eclipse for a while till you get the skills to handle a 20 mph turn in a Z.
Unless you hit a patch of antifreeze or pulled the emergency brake, or the turn was like 90 degrees or something, just not buying it. let us know what the black box says. Need more info!
Glad your OK though, and more importantly that no one else was hurt.

I totalled my Supercharged Miata and while I was mad at the time the experience made me realize cars come and go I was very lucky to not be hurt, dead, or killed or injured someone else. If you keep driving in an immature manner as I did with my Miata you can risk your license for 2+ years trust me I know

but ya. sorry for your loss. seems to me that if you were going 35 the crash would have been alot worse. maybe it would have rooled a few times.

My guess is careless... Unless they can prove he was going faster then 20... or have witnesses stating otherwise... His statement saying he was going 20 will allow for a maximum careless driving more then likely. (at least in Oregon thats how it works)

Man, sorry to hear about the wreck. Was your car a base model? I see WAY too many wrecks of poeple that came from FWD cars to a RWD sports car that simply don't know how to handle it (it can be a pretty big adjustment); you really have to learn to respect the RWD and VDC prob could have saved your @ss (if you didn't have it). BTW, the Z does not have a "black box" that retains that kind of info.

As far as yelling at idiots who can't wait a few minutes while an accident is cleaned up.. well can't say I havn't done the same. He should have stuck down a spike strip in the road for the ones who can't follow simply orders.
