On a 2 lane highway (1 lane each direction) middle of the night, i come up with the bright idea to pass a **** load of cars (9-10 or so) right when i clearthe cars i go to get over and then i hit 2 big *** undulations in the road, the car must have gone airborne and then landed at a weird angle, i don't remember **** besides snapping to and I'm 2 ft in water in this marsh in bum f%ck nowhere. The embankment off of the road was a steep 6 ft, so I'm sure it flipped at least once.... such a sad day. Probably didn't help the ground had some moisture as well... i was just driving like a dumb ***. Insurance is covering all of it + i get money back for the warranty and some other small things.

Maybe you should consider a slower car.

I'm sure everyone has tried the "pass-every-car-on-the-highway" thing before in their Z. **** happens, oh well. Glad you walked it off, OP.

Glad you walked away man. Live and learn. Sad to see such a nice color, and an HR at that, go. Be happy it's such a safe car, you would have been entangled in many other vehicles and left to die. Slow down and observe road conditions as there is no where you need to travel that fast, nor do you need to jeopardize your life and the lives of those around you.

I'm glad you made it out ok. I really am. But I'm still going to call you a dumbass. What the hell gave you the idea to do that? Usually on 2 lane highways, there's a point where the side opens into two lanes aka the passing lane. Couldn't you have just waited for that? If there aren't any, who the heck cares? Better than risking your life and ruining such a beautiful car. Hope you don't make more stupid mistakes in your future.


FYI - I went from driving a 1994 Eclipse Base, with a whopping 94bhp that didn't have crap for speed and acceleration. When I got the Z, I immediately changed my driving habits because the second I took it for a test run, I felt its monstrous power. I know it can do maneuvers that I previously did not have the pleasure of, but it doesn't mean I'm going to do them. Besides, the longer it takes for you to get to your destination, the better. More time for you to enjoy driving the Z.

Monstrous power? When I first drove the Z I wasnt that impressed with anything. I honestly expected much more. My car previous to that was a 03' Maxima SE 6spd w/ intake, exhaust.
