Damn that was hard to watch lol. But anyways good luck getting it fixed

^I understand what your saying. And I agree it was stupid. That's why the video is called "lesson learned".I will never do that on THAT road again. But I disagree with you when you say I don't deserve it. I bust my *** at work to pay for the car. I worked hard for it. . Why have a car you can't have fun in? That's why I bought it. If you want a car for beauty, good for you. I bought the car to DRIVE it. And that's exactly what I intend to do with it.

BTW the car is fine it just had some scratches that I buffed out. Luckily that was the only damage.

Its pretty silly to be drifting it on dirt roads. I agree you don't respect the car.

While what he did was stupid IMHO, we have to remember it is his car and we didnt buy it for him. Unfortunately for his car, he can abuse it however he sees fit. Im just glad to see he and the car is ok. Like others have already pointed out, it could have been much much worse.

The only thing that really pisses me off, is that we pay for the outcome that luckily didnt happen in this situation, but does in other situations through higher insurance premiums. :mad:

Can we merge this thread into the "Should I buy new or used" thread? :stirthepot:

To the OP, you live and you learn man! You got very lucky this time, hopefully the next time, you'll go easier on it. I ****** up quite a few times before I learned to control this brutal monster.

To everyone else... Your opinion is nice & all, but I don't think you should be really bashing the OP this much. He's having fun, he's learning how to go sideways, and messing up is all a part of the game. Yeah so he's not driving the Z the way you think he should be.. So what? It's not YOUR car. I'm through 3 full sets of tires since this march. Does that make me an idiot too? Because I actually take this car to its fullest potential 110% of the time? Think about it...

Don't just judge a person by a clip of 10 seconds of their life. He didn't murder anyone. He's learning. And all of you here ****** up more than once in your life too. We all have.

Sounds like yours could be sold 1 owner, always garaged, never driven hard, certified preowned.:stirthepot:

I don't think we should give him such a hard time. He was on a road to nowhere and had a friend scoping things out. If he hurt someone, it was only going to be himself. I've done way dumber **** than this. Fortunately, I made it to be older and wiser (also wider).

I swear I think some of you think these cars have hearts and souls... It's a machine peeps. That is all.

Thanks for that. I was starting to think I was alone here.

Btw to everyone else I've decided to buy a 240 and play with that instead. The Z is just gonna stay a daily driver/weekend warrior.

The Z was just crying after the wreck...Glad you are enjoying it, and YES, you were on a isolated road, so good for you...

It's not like you were drifting on a busy street...:tup:

Lol did you hear me at the end off the video? I couldn't stop beating myself up about till I found out everything was ok. It's one of those things you just look back and laugh at how lucky you were. Like a near death experience lol
