i am 20 in few months and i have never done such stupid **** before, and wont. I baby my car and only ripped it 3 or 4 times lol, thats right i keep count :P
It wasnt raining, and hadnt for over 12 hours. The roads were dry to my knowledge, but I would have to assume they were still damp if I lost control when driving like I was, which wasnt aggressively.

You need to buck-up and take the heat - you posted your story, called yourself a stupid 19 year old and then later basically referred those in your group of friends as the same (when you were saying your misfortune might get their attention because they too have powerful cars). In time, you will hopefully get it.

We crawled out of a small opening on the passenger side (door) All bs aside, you really have to be careful with the z's. It may not be a vette, or a gt500 but its power is dangerous if taken lightly.

My limited experience at the track says that it is difficult to do. Several turns at about 60 MPH, over steer, improper or no correction. The 350Z will spin in a circle.

Its possible to overturn in a side-slide if the slide is interrupted by a low immovable barrier like a curb. Also a ditch or drastic change is surface level will cause a tumble. Sliding downhill has the same effect as raising the center of gravity. Not good.

It's pretty easy to flip any car if you go off pavement. My guess is he went sideways, went sliding off the road, then the outside tires grabbed some dirt/gravel and over he went.

I kind of forgot that one. Stopping the slide will also do it.

Ok, picture this, (it may be easier for some, depending on where you live). You are riding down a country road with driveways and houses every 300-400 yards, give or take. Accompanying each driveway is a drainage ditch on both sides. I lost control, hit a road sign on my side of the road and proceeded into the ditch area and eventually ended up laying upside down up and out of the ditch and in the dead center of a what looked to be a gated driveway, although there was no house in sight. What happened in between me going off the road and me ending up upside down is beyond me.

so you hit a culvert? that would classify as an instant stop, easy flip.

Some members are here to ridicule you. Others simply want an understanding. Thanks for the explanation.
