Wow!!! Yet another 'totaled' thread! Gosh, no wonder the poor Z is scoring high on accident rates!
Well, at least the kid is honest enough to say that he was responsible for the whole thing... it seems that others just blame it on the wind/road/weather/karma/butterfly effect
Good thing you got out alive, kiddo. Now improve on your driving skills and we will see you 'round.

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.

If you dont have the maturity you shouldnt be driving the car...doesnt matter what age. Obviously his parents are just as dumb for not knowing how immature their son was. Some people can handle it at a young age, some can't. You can be young and be smart/respectful/mature behind the wheel. OP wasn't and got pwned by the Z and deserves to be bashed.

Just my .02
Amen brotha.
Im with you. only 21 here but already owned three cars myself and pay my own insurance and car payments.
no wrecks and one ticket, damn 63 in a 55. O well.
By the way, to the OP. I was driving 71 on LA freeways when a raised truck, passes me, slows down, then immediately cuts into my lane. his rear tire equal to my front tire. I avoided the crash and ended up correcting properly and drifting sideways for a few seconds.
trust me, the car handles perfectly well. O, and it was 25 mph winds that day and I did not take flight.

f**cking 16 year old totalling a Z. There goes my insurance. Thanks douche-bag.
Go drive a scion xA. When you are older and more experienced then upgrade to a tC. After that maybe you can reconsider a Z.

lol in my experiences with young kids who are 16 and 17 and have a Z, they're too cocky for one, and yes they try to show off way too much in front of everyone, so no wonder they always are the ones to get into these crazy accidents first. you kids with nice cars need to be more careful, there are other people on the road, keep that in mind, and even if there aren't people on the road, treat it as if there were.

Exactly. It's called tough love. Too many parents these days don't give a hoot about raising their kids, so they buy them love. The fact that parents also have to show off through their kids is pathetic.As for the OP, I hope he never comes back.

Excessive Speed and Designated Lane Use
22348. (a) Notwithstanding subdivision (b) of Section 22351, no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway with a speed limit established pursuant to Section 22349 or 22356 at a speed greater than that speed limit.
(b) Any person who drives a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than 100 miles per hour is guilty of an infraction punishable, as follows:
(1) Upon a first conviction of a violation of this subdivision, by a fine of not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500). The court may also suspend the privilege of the person to operate a motor vehicle for a period not to exceed 30 days pursuant to Section 13200.5.
(2) Upon a conviction under this subdivision of an offense which occurred within three years of a prior offense resulting in a conviction of an offense under this subdivision, by a fine of not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500). The person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall be suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 13355.
(3) Upon a conviction under this subdivision of an offense which occurred within five years of two or more prior offenses resulting in convictions of offenses under this subdivision, by a fine of not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500). The person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall be suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 13355.
(c) Any vehicle subject to Section 22406 shall be driven in a lane designated pursuant to Section 21655, or if no lane has been so designated, in the right-hand lane for traffic or as close as practicable to the right-hand edge or curb. When overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, the drivers shall use either the designated lane, the lane to the immediate left of the right-hand lane, or the right-hand lane for traffic as permitted under this code. If, however, specific lane or lanes have not been designated on a divided highway having four or more clearly marked lanes for traffic in one direction, any such vehicle may also be driven in the lane to the immediate left of the right-hand lane, unless otherwise prohibited under this code. This subdivision does not apply to a driver who is preparing for a left- or right-hand turn or who is in the process of entering into or exiting from a highway or to a driver who is required necessarily to drive in a lane other than the right-hand lane to continue on his or her intended route.
