When I was road testing my FI setup, the alignment was off and it was pretty scary trying to go straight with any kind of throttle. You should've been able to tell the alignment was off though and gotten it looked at... Live and learn. Next time don't try to drift around roundabouts...
The dealer that worked on teh Z after the first accident ordered "incorrect parts". Some of us were questioning this in conversations, but we do not have the details. It brings up several interesting questions:
1) What was ordered incorrectly?
2) How did they determine what was incorrect?
3) What else was incorrect?
4) et al
The car was picked up late on Friday from the dealer and teh accident happened first thing in the morning on the real first drive. Outside of the immediate assumption of driver error, you have to wonder...Did the dealer screw up on the repair that could have been a contributing cause to the accident when you add in the weather and raod condition? Legit question to ponder.
Sorry I forgot about that part earlier.

Sorry guys and gals, I have to go back to real life. I'll check back tomorrow for more of this riveting conversation.
Maybe you should 'chew' for a while on the next person that posts this thread. Enjoy.

Judging by how many posts I have on this forum I don't spend every waking hour here!
Sorry some of us WORK!!!

after the "I feel so insignificant". I would not trade my family, my business, or my friends for any of the crap you claim to own. Well, maybe for an armada, but for sure not a fleet.
And how the **** do think you owned me in that post? All you did is make yourself look more stupid, although that IS quite the accomplishment.

I'm 52, worked my a$$ off for the last 25 years in my own business, and still don't have millions in disposable income. I feel so insignificant lol. And the relevance of the entire thing is the total number of threads around here regarding teenagers wrecking their cars, as well as their lack of accepting any responsibility. We are just responding to trends. I feel bad for the guy, but not for the same reason HE is feeling bad.

5. I am very supportive of my friends, family and of strangers. If you actually knew me, you would undertand better than the internet will ever allow.

I may not be as old or wise as you or some of the others on here, but I've been around and pay attention. I know it takes time to be a 'grownup' like some of the more successful people I read about. However, something struck a chord in me when the OP posted the sob story, and I got the impression he wanted some attention. Unfortunately, it drew the kind of attention he wasn't looking for.

As I mentioned in a previous post, English is NOT the native language of the OP. Can you speak fluent Russian? He can. He is going back to school this Fall to get a degree in his choosen field.
Enough on the grammer skills.
One last thing to really pi$$ you self-absorbed idiots off, the wife thinks he looks like David Beckham's younger brother. You know, I think I agree with her. Uh oh...now time for the homophobe comments.
I'm back to the TV...the new Top Gear is on in 30 minutes.

English is not my native language either. Can you tell? Nope. Didn't think so. So what's your point?
So we're self absorbed but yet you bring up the fact that you watch TG and know what Beckham's little brother looks like? Wow.... let me step aside as the lightning bolt strikes you were you sit.
BTW, I've come to the conclusion that you are not as wise and smart as you think. You're one of those people that likes to impress others with what you think you know and are probably obsessed with it. Yes, I think you're a wiseass.
Since I'm not a fan of Freud, I wouldn't know what he thinks and I don't care. Wait, he would probably think that your need to 'school' us on how to be more human is a direct result of your upbringing. I know I come from a dysfunctional family. What's your excuse?
