Z Crash
 

Saw this posted on another Z forum. Thought I would share and hopefully remind everyone to keep the speed down and drive safe...

One dead after speeding car slams into St.*Petersburg house | Tampa Bay Times

I don't see any resemblance of a car anywhere except for the wheels. Super scary :icon14:

Looks like it was a 350Z GT based on the Brembo's and the rims.

RIP to the driver.

notice on the one side shot how they photoshopped out the window section? i'm sure there was nothing much left of that driver.

Seems to me we have a Darwin award winner. Deceased had a history of being stupid, so hopefully he hadn't procreated. :icon14:

Not to pile on, but there are times I have friends who don't seem to care about little issues as long as they don't make The Big Mistakes. But take this:

Those might have been things on any Average Joe's record, but once you make one Big Mistake, they turn into something else: a trend. And even if the details illustrate how little those two things maybe were, no news article will get into those details when reporting on your Big Mistake.

Just sayin...be careful out there and stay safe and legal.

:eek: JHC...

Wow. Just...wow.

im glad the girl wasn't hurt...well, not physically at least.

damn there was nothing left!

Holy shyt! I watched the video and when they're dragging it up the flatbed you can see the muffler tip is in front of the cabin, well what's left of it.

soooo, VDC off?

Could be a million scenarios.
lost control
dog ran in the middle of the street
brakes failed
texting -_-
etc..

Wow one of the worst accident scenes that I ever saw. RIP to the driver, bad decision to do a 100mph any time in the streets.

"The twisted remains of a garbage can and bus stop bench marked the start of the destruction, and tire tracks showed more of the path.
Where the car broke apart, smaller pieces and bigger chunks lay in the yard and in the road. A medical examiner used a red plastic bag to collect the victim's remains. It took police nearly five hours to clear the road."

Please people don't race on the streets there are plenty of places setup for high speeds all across the country. Even if you know the road who knows if a car a few min ago was leaking oil or something fell off it, at high speeds you don't have enough time to react.


Also I don't understand why cities plant trees on the sides of roads, everything else put on the side of a road needs to be able to break away if hit except these trees which will destroy a car or any other vehicle that hits time.

So glad no one else was hurt. As for the driver..I have no sympathy.

25 years later they are still talking about his drunk driving. So he was not a kid. I assumed he was young driving 100 MPH past a house(s). Old guys are screw ups too.

I still hate this story and may he rest in peace.

100MPH late at night screams drunk driving. I'd bet the way our society is today the toxicology report will have alcohol and RX meds in his system.
