Why can't the news ever get the model of our cars right? It's either 350 or a 300ZX

if it had brembo's i'd call dibs.

judging from the pic. The dude probably had shitty tires and was driving too fast for the weather (it was pouring rain last night), so i'm guessing he hydroplaned.

That's just not right.

I don't think it matters how good the tires are to have a car split in two like that under last night's weather conditions.

There was at least one other accident with pics of a 350Z that was torn in two. The driver did not survive that one.

That was "pickle" from Houston. He died? I remember him waking up from his coma and being in rehabilitation.

Wow.... That's a scary thought considering how many times I have gone pretty fast in worse conditions in the Z...

oh sh*t ,i just saw that on the news. Some of us have no "self preservation" gene , last night`s rain dictated a serious amount of common sense regardless of the quality of tires or driver skill

That's just sad.

The thing that pisses my off about accidents, especially, when it envolves a sports car is that the name of the car is always printed in the article or mentioned in the news clip. I'm quite sure if this unfortunate incident happened with a mini-van or another non-discript car it wouldn't be mentioned.

The article said : 34 year old driver too and speed was a factor. You think?? Man some people never grow up! No common sense at all
