Insurance rates aren't calculated per car based on the driving record of those who have driven it.

So you usually drift around that corner, which is on a public street, but this time you just over did it?

A/S/L???

Dont know if someone covered this already, but if your insurance pays out... believe me your premiums will be raised. Sorry to hear about the car and glad your ok.

Glad you're okay! I take some turns pretty fast, I have to keep telling myself to wait until I autoX a few times to get a better feel for the car...

Could you give us a little more detail about how this happened?(How fast you were going,weather conditions).You kinda made it sound like it was the cars fault.I have a base model that I have never come close to losing control of and I dont drive like a old man either.Then again I know how to drive.

Yeah its sunny out here in Cali so I cant blame the weather. I'm young and of course now i feel like a crappy driver but I never said I was blaming anybody, My Z is used and when I look at the papers saying what model it is. All it says is 35th anniversary (base, enthusiast, touring...). Also I don't usually go fast around that corner. The green arrow was still lit so I was trying to make the turn like I was in a hurry.
