VDC off huh?...

Thanks for keeping my insurance rates high.

Other than that, hope you get it fixed like new.

Learn car control, or don't push the button..

Sorry about the damage to your Z. Just be glad you didn't get hurt and that the car isn't damaged any worse than it is.

Like others have said no reason to turn the VDC off on the street. Save that for a track/autocross where you have some margin for error. Also as Fusz said a good performance driving course is a great way to learn how to handle a high performance car. It also makes driving one more fun too.

That's doubtful...

Seems to be a weekly occurrence here....

It'll never happen to me.

VDC never goes off. It's called an accident for a reason though. You'll learn. Glad to see you are okay, though.

Yup i wonder how long before insurance companies realize too many punks driving Z and getting into too many accidents.

Keep reckless driving off public streets please.

I think it's already happened. My rates are double what they were on my 470hp '08 Vette, and I'm over 60....

But I thought that when you buy a nismo, some of the extra money goes towards buying driving experience?

Anyone else only turn their VDC off in the rain?

Do you drive with Vehicle Dynamic Control(VDC) off or on?

For me, my 350Z doesn't have VDC, so I'm used to it.
Plus the car lets you play on the limit, so if you know what you're doing it won't kick your ***...

Hope he is OK.

But the freaking insurance is going to go off the roof with all these 370s accidents.
