Crashed the 370z on Test Drive..

Sort of a dumb move if you ask me. You should hope that the dealership doesn't sue you for the damage since you were driving recklessly. If the salesman asked you to drive it off a bridge would you have done that as well? I don't think the Z is for you. You obviously can't handle it, and you could hurt someone else.

Just out of curiosity, what do you normally drive?

StLRedrider · 07-05-2009, 11:47 AM

Hopefully it has roll bars

BMW Killa · 07-05-2009, 11:49 AM

Alright, alright, he's not the first to crash a Z from what I've seen.

test drive turned into a test crash......how bad was the Z beat up??

if it's less than 3K to repair...something like that....the dealership can fix it themselves and sell it without the future owner ever knowing.

I think that law varies by state to state, or province to province, but if he hit a median at 77mph (which is an unusual speed to take note of and makes me question the validity of this whole story) then I am sure he did enough damage to force the dealer to disclose it. Hopefully the Z will just get totalled and some other poor guy won't have to deal with the potential headaches that may come with buying a car that was carelessly driven and wrecked. In maryland he would have been ticketed for anything from failure to control speed to reckless endangerment.

I hate hearing that...but I bet it happens way more than we'd like to know.

LOL!!!! OMG this is awsome!

nogoodname · 07-05-2009, 12:56 PM

that's if they even claim it, i mentioned if it's not bad....they will repair & sell without telling the future owner....happened to a guy on another forum...he later found out that half of his G37 has been painted

And I see your from Jersey...
Great.

100% with you. What really floors me are the idiots here that think it is funny and amusing. They all (including the moron driver) are totally ignorant of the fact the Z is a highly refined sport car which demands respect while driving. It's a shame those who understand and fully respect this fact will always have to share the same streets with these knuckledragging clueless atavists.

nogoodname · 07-05-2009, 01:13 PM

it's common sense to not floor it while turning...lol.....maybe after the apex....ha
but going downhill doesnt help at all.

but who cares, as long as no one got hurt.

this thread should be locked...lol...only bashing to come

If the VDC was on that would not have happened. The throttle would have cut right back or cut off, and the brakes would have engaged before the slide.

Which supports the fact it was the driver's stupid carelessness why it happened in the first place as the car was completely in his control at that moment.
