Until it's beaten into your head, it's not always the first instinct. I'm one of those "When in doubt, both feet out. In a spin, both feet in" driver, but it took awhile to beat it into my head. :driving:

Hopefully this resolves itself in a good manner for the OP. :tup:

Yea. Valid point. I just couldn't think of anything. I don't have an online "handle" that I use. Just things that come to mind when I'm signing up.

But sit tight skeptics. I promise you some pictures and reports.

Of course. Great idea. Done :D

And really guys, I understand how insane this sounds. How do you think I felt when it happened? :P

I still love my Z and I'll always love them. It seems that this is an isolated incident with my car. I searched all across the web before I posted this. My car only has 6,300 miles on it.... so there's still quite a bit of life left in it. Believe me, I have no plans on getting rid of it so long as they can identify and resolve the problem. I have faith in Nissan. They have always come through for me.

To the original poster; good luck to you, sir. I hope your experience will not be the norm. And thank you for bringing your story to our attention.

What do you guys want pics of? His gas pedal? From my read of the original post, there was no damage to his vehicle. Or did I misread?

Nah, there's damage. Both passenger side wheels are damaged from hitting the curb after spinning and some front end damage from the curb and a nice street sign. The overhead and in-seat airbags deployed on the passenger side also.

Don't worry about it dude. I understand the skeptics completely. I'd be saying the same stuff if I were them.

Ouch. Glad you're okay. You are okay, right? No injuries?

I'm golden. Not a scratch on me :P Thanks for the concern though, I genuinely appreciate it.

Tbh, the degree of the accident is laughable. I thought the damage was going to be much more substantial. Cars pretty damn tough. It banged the curbs hard as hell but I drove it just fine to the dealer. Dislodged the exhaust for sure or cracked a pipe... because it sounded beast as hell. I wish it sounded like that stock :-D

Were you by chance driving under any power lines? There's a theory now that what's causing Toyota's issue is interference from the high EM fields emitted by power lines.
