damn bro - glad to see you're ok - just one question - why were you going so fast in 2nd? Usually that speed I'm in 4th or 5th - saves an a**load of gas. Car held up well - gives me more peace of mind when driving - thanks for the info.

Well, the whole expeience is a huge blur to me, but when I shifted from 2nd to 3rd i lost control. I was probably going around 45-50 when it happened. I lost control, hit a road sign and went in a ditch and turned over somehow and rolled over I'd say twice. 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.
Wow 50mph @ second gear? tsk, tsk, tsk.
Who do You think You are? Michael Schumacher?
......ok.
Your right though guys, we should all be hard on the 19 year old that had an accident like so many people do. Then, we have 10+ pages of forum members (hypocrites) as i would like to call them, who have went in speeds of 120+ mph on public roads, some as much as 150+, as listed in the thread below.

Well, you're only 19, so there's more cars to crash and maybe next time You
won't be so lucky.

ha, told you guys it wasnt pretty. I know most of you cringe and may even have nightmares about your z looking like this. Its a reality I have to live in though. 
On a good note, i give the z a thumbs up in a crash test. The front took the brunt force as intended and the air bags performed very well. Look at the pics and understand that both the driver and the passenger crawled out with only minor cuts from the broken glass...amazing. a blessing.

Damn Skippy it's a blessing...
I like to think when I'm in a near death situation...that I died, and every day after is the "what if" of things...
So next time you slip, and fall or smack your head so hard you can't see for a second be thankful cause people die off dumb shiet all the time...

Man much, much respect to the people who are actually helpful on this forum....your post are very informative..
But boy there are so many dicks on this damn site it's ridiculous...some people must really have nothing better to do than to play 'tough guy' on the internet...
Flame me if you want...I'm just a lurker who prefers to stay that way because of some of the ignorant ppl on this site...
