That sucks! This is why I always drive very defensively, I cant tell you how much money I've saved Insurance companys and policy holders premiums by avoiding people hitting me. I also heard the Z has the Highest side impact crash ratting in the industry.

LOL yep out of 200 cars tested the 350z was the 197th down on the list for saftey with 193 deaths per million.
The Mercedes E class however was ranked number 1 as the safest car with 7 deaths per million. so... if anyone would like to come buy one from me I work at Euro Motorcars in Germantown!

LOL yeah Prerequisites for marrying Josh:
*Lack of will to survive
*Lack of all emotion close to or in any form related to fear .. he decides to make quick jerky lane changes to weave through traffic at 130mph on 270 while fishtailing inches from the jersey wall
*Blue Jeans, and some sort of boots for when he decides to build a grass hoola skirt under the car while spinning through a turn down a hill in the ice while shouting WOO HOO!!!
*Helmet for when he decides that text messaging is more important than paying attention and that all stop signs outlined in white are optional
*Insurance for when he decides to back his 350z into your BRAND NEW MERCEDES BENZ in the driveway
*Insurance for when he crashes other peoples cars, on the way TO the club at 1:00 in the morning
*Insurance for the neighbors mailbox because Josh decides he wants to take the 90 degree turn at 50mph and then over correct himself


LOL and you guys wonder why I won't share cars with him and we both had to buy Nismo's.
