I was driving down a main road, not speering going the normal speed, about 45 mph with my friend. I saw the light turn red up ahead so i questioned whether to make the right and cut through a school, i was supposed to make a right at the light anyway. The entrance to the school is very narrow, jus for buses to go in. So i decided to make the right about 10 seconds too late, i slammd on my brakes, cut the whe but i had too much speed and my car pretty much kept going straight. One wheel went up a pedestrian walkway ramp so it didnt take too much force. The other wheel slammed right intothe curb at about 25 mph. The car went over one curb came off it and slammed into another curb at about 5 mph. The parking lot is set up wierd n there is one curb about 5 feet from the other. So yeah, i wasnt being an ******* doing doughnuts or driftin or anything, it was just poor judgment and assuming the car could do somethin it couldnt. And also, i dont have access to a list just yet, im going to be takig a ride to y dads friends house in a few days he has a lift, im going ti check it out oer there. Ill take lics wen i go and post them. So let me know what you guys think im sure you assume i cant drive lol. But im a pretty good driver really.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but if you chose to turn 10 seconds after the turn, would you not have stopped at the red light and driven a half a block once it turned green again?

Better yet buy a bus, with their superior handling you would've made that turn. And if you do happen to hit a curb those big *** tires will just run over no problem

I don't even know what to say. Was this your first day driving? Were there some "hot chicks" on the sidewalk that you were trying to impress? Do you know how far a car travels in 10 seconds? You'd be much better off doing doughnuts than pulling this type of maneuver. Pulling into a SCHOOL of all places!

Get the car looked at on a lift.. but you might want to reconsider your choice of car. If the description that you gave is accurate, I think it's one of the best examples of horrible driving that I've ever heard.

Wait a minute. You cut the wheel before slowing enough to make your turn, but you're a good daily driver?

You decided that saving a few seconds of time by cutting through a school at 45mph instead of making a right at a red light, but you're a good daily driver?

You called the path that school buses take "narrow" in comparison to your 350z, but you're a good daily driver?

You thought the car could take an (I'm assuming here) ~90 degree turn at almost full speed, but you're a good daily driver?
