Guess what bud, the Z itself is not a very expensive car. The insurance for a "Sports Car" however is. If you think that driving performance increases with age, than then you represent the typical stereotype against teenagers with nice cars. Also I'm nineteen and I am willing to bet I'm a far better driver than you. Why? Let me give you a few reasons.
1. http://www.skipbarber.com/
2. I improve my driving skills at the track.
3. I understand the physics and mechanics of how a car works.

Sorry for getting off topic, I just hate ****** like this guy.

Bad luck had absolutly nothing to do with your crash!! You hit a Parked car man up and just admit you did something wrong taking that turn.

Just a matter of time before you get into another accident if you don't know what you did wrong.

if you hit a parked car, that is 100% pure driver fault.. in driving school, one of the first things they teach you is to drive according to conditions of the road.. you obviously were going too fast or your perception / control of the car is just not there.
live and learn right?

I honestly think that there is more to the story than a simple making a right, and all of the sudden something took over the car, and then the airbags came out. You were obviously speeding and couldn't make the turn. I am very good at knowing when someone is BS or what not. And my BS detector is pretty much telling me that your story is BS. To the brighter side, at least you are ok.

I appologize if I am way off base . . . . but I was your age once and I have learned many things the hard way. My advice is to slow down. (Which is damn near impossible in a -Z-)

He said he wasn't drifting because there were no skid marks, and that it rained in the morning but dried up. The road was still probably damp, and not necessarily are there always skid marks when "drifting."

I'm sure it's possible that the car could've glitched and had airbags deploy, but then again not probable, and I've not heard of this issue with any other Zs. More than likely **** happened so fast, next thing he knew the airbags deployed.

I never said he was drifting nor did I imply there were skid marks.
