I joined this forum since thinking about buying a 350z. I have enjoyed reading many of the threads in this forum,and most have been helpful, if not entertaining. This thread is different , the few here that have posted unconscionable remarks sickens me to no end. I need to find out how to put these people on ignore. This is my first post on this forum, but I felt this needs to be said. fwiw

1. I feel bad for the tree,
2. Hope the passenger will alright
3. ***rded parents for buying a 17 year old a Z, I mean he's young and stupid, they're old and stupid.
Look at their last names, I always see these teens in that area driving these expensive cars that their "daddy" got them. Lazy *****.

Wow, I'm surprised at the amount of negative comments here. He was a kid who crashed. Obviously he was driving at excessive speeds, but the article said alcohol wasn't involved and there was no mention of racing. Sounds like a kid simply was cruising too fast and lost control. We've all been young and done stupid **** at some point in our young lives. I give my utmost remorse to the family as they go through this rough time.

The car one drives is irrelevant. I remember when my youngest brother was still in high-school there were kids who rolled up in Z06 Vettes and entry level 911 Porsche's yet I never, at any point in my life, did I read about any kids crashing their cars nor injuring or killing themselves or anyone else and I was a frequent reader of the local paper. It has nothing to do with the car one drives. It's all about the mindset one has towards driving and whether or not they have respect for the power their car can produce.

Now yes, most of us own Zs so we can step on it once in a while, but MOST of us aren't going 60 in a 35 residential are, because we got kids, and in back of our minds we know that sometimes those little bastards can run out from out of nowhere, and if we hit them- we'd hang ourselves later on. So yes, its about good mindset, experience, and responsibility, which 99.99% of 17 year olds got very little of. Not because they're retarded people, bad people, or we're better then them. No, because they're 17, thats what 17 year olds do- they don't think.

Dumb a$$ kid was behaving completely reckless and suffered the consequences. I agree that we have all been stupid in some ways, but I assure you that I have never been through a residential area at near the speed it would take to cause that much damage. What if someone had been in that yard?
This idiot has not only destroyed his parents lives, but we don't know if the passenger mat screwed up for life also. The parents who wanted to be cool in their kids eye and didn't have the ***** to say no are just as much to blame. I hope the passenger lives and sues them for everything they have.

I almost entirely disagree. You're right its about the mindset, but whats the % of the 17 year olds with "safety" in their mindset when driving? I mean THINK about it, they've been driving for A YEAR. That already means NO experience. I mean any way you look at it, it doesn't matter if you're talking about "safe or not safe driver" they're 17, driving for a year doesn't make you safe driver,.

What annoys me is the (***)umption that his parents bought the car for him and that he "deserved" what happened to him. We all make mistakes. No one deserves to die simply because they made a bad decision behind the wheel. And furthermore, he coulda been driving a 92 240sx and had the same thing happen to him. So then, would it still have been the parents fault? Some people on here are annoying with their comments. Sure he shouldn't have been speeding like that, but show some respect. You elders who have kids probably have no idea what your children are doing behind the wheel out there either. So when ur kid ends up dead, I hope someone stands there and tells u It was ur fault. (ends rant)

You guys are heartless. This is clearly a tragic and horrible loss that we should all commemorate. We shall henceforth remember this as the day that black Z died.
As for the kid? Meh.
