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...

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

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.

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:

Quote:

"...In 2008, his record shows, he was part of a crash with property damage. In a separate incident that year, he was cited for driving 55 mph in a 35 mph zone."

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.

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

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?

Zerocool · 03-27-2014, 02:52 PM

damn there was nothing left!

Zerocool · 03-27-2014, 02:55 PM

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

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.

This goes to show, Dont be a dumb *** and take your **** to the track to push the car....

Yeah, are you serious? ha. That rate of speed, at that time of the night..I doubt it was texting or swerving to miss a dog.

RIP to the driver. That's too young to die.
