This is the lesson you "leraned"????? You take full "responsblity" for what happened? I don't think so...
"1. never again am I getting in a small car," - The Z is one of the safest, most wind resistant vehicles there are. The lower you are to the ground, and the more wind resistant you are, the less chance there is of wind blowing you off the road.
"2 hopefully there is a truck in the future," - A truck is the opposite of a car. It is higher, less wind resistant and there is a better chance for the wind blowing you off the road. The brakes, steering everything are more "truck-like" or "more sucky". A truck is also more likely to kill someone else when you get into an accident.
"3 speeding is dumb and I see that now" - Speeding when you are a moron who can't drive, and just got their license, with a Z being their first car is dumb.
So, the lesson I've learned here is you should drive a horse buggy. That way, you can still get to school, don't have to worry about excessive speeds or blowing over with high winds.
welcome to the new ride.

Or go crawl back into momma's womb. It's safer there.

Im pretty sure the z can get fixed didnt look to bad when I took a glimpse at it. Im prob. going to have to get a job to pay off the ticket im going to be recieving. You make it seem like i was doing 100 through traffic and weaving around no thats not how it happened. The cop said he saw me from up ahead and caught up to me at 105. I was driving fast, so maybe that is wreckless but I didnt get a wreckless driving ticket just a speeding ticket and not obeying my licnese rules. And oh yeah I dont want a 350 back I want something safer to drive like a truck and not a sports car to tempt me to drive fast.

lol... Thank you sir for your contribution to another teen driving statistic, thus ensuring the continued high prices of insurance for both the 16-25 male age group and the sports car bracket as well.
Next time, tell mom and daddy you want a Toyota Echo, that way you won't have to worry about speeding or loosing control. obviously RWD and 300hp is too much for you to handle, and driving triple digit speeds down public roads= DE DE DE!
Like so many people have said before, it's all about three words, PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP! You guys take for granted mom and dads hand outs and think they will never end. I sure hope they make you get a job to pay the ticket, and the damage to the Z, then they should sell it, and make you pay off the turquoise blue Toyota echo.

Your decision to get a truck is a very good one. Way more practical and safer. Modding trucks is fun, too.
I am glad you're safe. Hopefully we won't see too many more pickles, but with accidents happening almost daily, who knows..

The wind is not an excuse..
I don't even know why people post their wreck stories unless there is a legit reason. If your a member of this forum and you read these a lot you should know better than to post something like this knowing your going to receive alot of harsh comments.. Especially with an excuse like that. "Wind"
Lol.

Glad you two are ok, but no sympathy for young spoiled punks that treat their expensive gifts like crap.....ie, driving recklessly in a $30,000 dollar car give or take. Keep it at the track man. You're the kind that gives the rest of us a bad rep while we're trying to cruise around in our Z's. Yea, I'm only 22. Not much older than you, but I paid for mine and I act like it when I drive it. Just my .02

You are the reason folks rag on teens driving a Z. You wrecked your car by acting stupid on public roads, you endangered your life and the lives of everyone on that road. You're just another reason insurance rates keep going up for this car. Your parents and you are pretty dumb. I'm glad your car got totaled, you need to ride the bus until you grow up.

Geeze, he's a friggin kid. Im sure all you guys that are bashing him were friggin angels when you were 16. We've all done stupid $hit and thats how we grow and learn.
Glad you're not hurt, and I hope you learned a lesson from it. Thats all that really matters. Cars can be replaced, you can't.
Honestly, at his age, I would expect some of the comments that he's posting. Once again, he's 16 friggin years old. He's got a lot of learning to do.
I hope you guys don't bash your kids like that when they make a mistake.

the problem is though that not ALL young people are irresponsible idiots...This kid obviously is and never should have been given the keys to a Z. He obviously wasnt mature enough to handle it and didnt respect the car. This kid along with the dumb *** ricers doing burnouts in parking lots, and ricer fly bys are why the rest of us get a bad name and higher insurance rates.

It's not his fault his parents gave him a Z. If my parents offered that up to me at 16, I can't honestly say I wouldn't have jumped all over it as well.
My point is he's a kid and everyone's bashing him like he should have the common sense, wisdom, and smarts of a 50 y/o. And even some of the people that age are questionable at times.
Stop bashing him and teach him. He's a friggin kid.
And we wonder why have the youth in this age are so F'ed up. When they make a mistake they get bashed on and people actually wishing they were dead instead. Thats just sad to me.

And you're saying at 16 he has a lot of learning to do. He does. So he shouldn't be driving a Z at high speeds on a public road. He should also learn to project his thoughts better.
He deserves to get bashed, I figure.

Our bashing is a way of teaching. Kids are Grade A morons right now because of all this PC crap in the world, and parents trying to one up each other by buying their kids more expensive things than the other neighbors.
The OP and his parents are morons.

No, he should have the common sense, wisdom and smarts of a person given the keys of a high powered car.
You are making an argument to raise the driving age substantially. Society thinks that most 16 yr. olds ARE responsible enough. Therefore he is not even acting like most 16 yr olds.
Most kids his age have learned more in school, care enough about others to communicate clearly, and show more responsibility for their actions. Someone needs to bash him. Apparently his parents and teachers aren't.
The question on many people's minds is whether he and his friend lived to learn the lesson or did they live to take themselves and maybe others out in the future. Harsh, but true.
