We learned a valuable lesson about the "VDC OFF" button today thanks to b1ades. This will be the inspiration for the 2012 Nissan 370z Special OFFROAD edition as an alternative to the Jeep. Please feel free to chime in your thoughts. VDF OFF POWA!!!!!

Check out the mud on my all season tires

The other side of the car was spotless... it took us like 5 minutes to notice what happened :rofl2:

Haha, oh man.

I like the dirty wheels look better, it is genuine offroad style ;)

Someone must have gotten confused and thought he was in a Subie.. :ugh2:

Testing out the limits of my car :icon17:

This was a result of VDC Off + worn front tires + wet tires from going over some puddles. There was this sharp right turn that went down hill and then up. I took the turn a bit too fast and felt the rear end come loose. It began to spin, but I corrected it. Unfortunately by the time I had corrected it, I ran out of road. My drivers side tires went off the road a bit and into some mud. If the road wasn't as narrow or the turn wasn't as sharp, I would have been perfectly fine. I've learned my lesson though, no more VDC off.

Anyone got any ideas as to how I can help fix the scrape on the bumper?

Hopefully someone in Nissan Marketing realizes the Z potential for offroad driving :p

HURRAYYYYYYY :roflpuke2: you handled that situation like a pro behind the wheels man. Jay looked relieved when he saw you come around that sharp turn.:tup:
