I drive with VDC off 50% the time... I like driving a little spirited now and then and drifting / drag racing occasionally. I honestly don't see how you can lose control like that unless you just can't drive at all... gotta feather the throttle son lol

Go buy a beater 240sx to practice the basics before you end up ruining your nice car

I wired my trailer lights incorrectly and put the car in limp mode

Nothing like what you did, but I scratched the paint near my door..deep!

I thought originally someone scratched my car and was pissed...then realized, where it was, would be really hard to hit it with a door....then i realized, it had to be me.

Culprit: My Money Clip Wallet.

My condo parking is near a wall and often I squeeze in as I can't open the door all the way. I must have done it while squeezing in...so pissed at myself. Its a $300 job to repaint the rear quater panel, but maybe a good buff might help...haven't tried yet

but.. why would you turn VDC off especially if you have no experience with "racing" or "drifting"..

Although its strange. ive never found that the z likes to break loose from just a lil gas in a turn like that. It just scampers on.
truthfully theres never a reason to turn it off when your just going around town. even then if someones doing spiriting mountain driving etc most should leave it on..

I was exhausted from work and that day i had overtime so maybe i hit the gas a lil too hard and it just send me in to the parked cars

Regardless, no offense man but if you're that inexperienced then your first mistake was even driving a 370...

no i was already in gear at that time i was coming out of the gates and the speed limit is 5 mph its a hospital

In all seriousness though OP, glad you are alright and only the car was damaged. At that low speed it could have been some loose dirt/gravel/oil on the road + cold tires like others have said. Always be mindful of road surfaces. You should never take driving for granted (yea we are all guilty and do it on a daily basis).

You might be right probably was something on the road i didnt see cuz the first thing popped in to my mind was "Wtf? why is it going like that? It shouldn't be doing this."

for pics there in my album i dont know how to put pics in reply yet

yeah i too hate it when you cant see all the cars at yeld or any intersections i usually just pull up slower to make shure theres nobody there. Also like you my car is in the shop and it cost my insurance 12k for that damage and am just glad your ok

Managed to straighten it out but ran out of road and had 2 wheels go off the road and into some mud.

2nd time was when I rear ended some lady when she slammed on the brakes in her pickup truck for no apparent reason.

Wonder how long it will take red__zed to reply to this post. Your being timed now Dan!

that lady just wanted to collect on your insurance its happened to me well lets see now 1..no..2...umm like 7 hundred times in NYC. Every week some one does that to me hoping to say "Yeah officer that crazy racer guy just ran in to me"
