There's no way that thing will ever spring back to life.

that's got to be total lost. The front frame is definite damaged, and the radiator has been pushed back close to the engine.. The wheels are damaged, so the axel may be damanged as well.. who knows.. Time for another Z..

What "stinx" is that you are are in HS and you have a 350Z. Tell mommy thanks for making our insurance policies go up.

There has always got to be a jeolous *** that makes a comment like this. As for your insurance comment this could have happened to anyone, for all we know he could have had a seizure cuasing this to happen.

But like other people have commented I definatly think you should go to a doctor. My father had a seizure first time of his life this year at the age of 55. Now the doctor told him that he can not drive for a year to make sure it does not happen again.

In germany you cant even get a drivers licence until you are 18 and even then you have to take some intensive driving courses that are unparalleled to what is required in the states.

Tell your mom thanks for making my premium go up.
What the hell man, you have no right to blow up on him like that. As you can see in his post, he wasn't racing or anything. He just blanked out and wrecked. That can happen to anyone. He still hasn't gotten to the doctor yet, so he could have a serious medical condition.

I bet that guy in those mustangs street raced or drove stupidly fast all the time.

The reason premiums are high is because young people are relatively new to driving an automobile. Being inexperienced makes them dangerous drivers because of all that power behind a wheel.

Chill out.

I know that it sounds like a d!ck comment but it is true. He has had what, maybe 2 or 3 years of driving experience tops? The "honestly don't remember anything that happened" is bullsh!t. He knows exactly what happened and to keep mommy/daddy from getting mad he is playing innocent. These cars just don't jump off the road and hit ****. The biggest error about the 350z is the person sitting in the drivers seat.

"Sell crazy somewhere else, I'm all stalked up here."

Default Is this a 5 minute argument

Can I join in? Most of us 'experienced' drivers have wrecked something and it's never our fault. Goodness sakes, what's the right hand pedal for? It happens and you've got to tell the man in blue something.
And as to jealous comments from Germany about Mom buying the car, 'Bobby Moore'.

As for the person who said Im making it up, that might be more in line with what you would do. What would be the sense of me lying here on the forums? There is always gonna be those few people who are d i c k s and say stupid things.

In any case, Im just looking forward to getting my car back and forgetting this whole incident.

sorry man, that sucks.

but if you seriously don't remember it... please go get checked out. i have a buddy here at work who goes through seizures..... he doesnt remember entire days sometimes. better safe than sorry.

sorry they didn't total it out, but hopefully the auto body is good enough to fix it.

thats what happens when you give someone in high school a Z.

"In any case now my mom is talking about getting me something else so I'm gonna have to wait and see what ends up happening"

must be nice to pretty much total a Z as a teenager and still have your mom get you something else

Sucks man,

I nailed a curb one night when it was raining. When the car starts to slide around, ya just sorta close your eyes and hope for the best. Then you open them and wonder what the f#$k happened.

I drove a dodge neon(97 the best year) till the day I graduated from high school. I hold no grudge against you are anyone who has a Z in high school. I guess thats easy for me to say when there are kids with SUVs in highschool that cost nearly twice what I paid for mine.
