Hate to say it, but they deserved it. If you have never tried to "Drift" a RWD before and you disable the Safety feature and act stupid, he had it comming.

Sounds like someone with no experience trying to do something they had no business doing. Obviously they had also never driven this car before. Guess daddy should think twice about buying junior a sports car.

Ouch!!! But I have to ask, why did he want to drift the car after only having it for several hours? Seems like most would spend a little more time raising their comfort level.

Do not watch "F&F3-Tokyo Drift" before buying your first Z. Good thing he didn't buy a thunderchicken Firebird after watching "Smoky and the Bandit" and try to jump a dry riverbed!

I never attempted anything close to a drift (back end out) until owning my Z for almost two years. First I broke it in like a baby, then I raised her like a child; knowing her behavior. Now I am comfortable and know both of our limits.

You don't beat a newborn in the delivery room.

yea, it takes time to learn to drift, its not for everyone! most people go from a FWD car and have no idea what they are getting into when it rains, snows or is even dry out with a rwd car! Going around a corrner with a RWD car is deff diffrent then doing it in a FWD car!

try a open parking lot next time, with no curbs or lights!
