Dude, can't believe that happened to your ride right after I saw you and corey over at the FT caul-de-sac yesterday! Best of luck with getting everything repaired!

...is the repairs going to interfere with getting that engine swap you were supposed to get btw?

this makes me sad. Honestly, they're way too generous with the salt and sand around here. I've been breaking loose on random salt mounds all week.

Good luck with the repairs and I hope the suspension isn't too messed up!

I feel like you have had some bad lucky lately - oil consumption and now this. Fustrating I bet, can't start modding until the cars issues gets worked out. Best of luck man, I know you got parts just sitting around waiting to go on too.

yeah..cold weather + summer tires + 350Z = bad combo.

I was making a left turn few days ago at a light and when I made that turn I gave a bit more gas than I needed to and I felt the back end break loose but I steered right a little to keep the car pointed in the direction I wanted to go and took my foot off the gas a bit. Got my heart rate to double...but yeah...fortunetly no mishaps. I wish I was in an big open area to really have some fun.

anyways..good luck with the fix. I know I've had my share of unexpected turns/spins.

Sorry to hear about another Z going down, and hope the damage isn't too great to take you out of commission for too long. Hopefully it rains soon and washes some of this excess sand and salt away.

Props for posting up your wreckage stories, most ppl tend to hide that info =)
Was that the road we took when we were driving back from Maryland to your house?
