A Z is a nice car but it's no 911 in comparison.

Puleeeze....Lots of guys own 911's that should really be driving Saturns...especially in New Jersey...

Let me be clear, not blaming the car at all, it was 100% my fault. Not used to the feel of the car and it got away from me. I drive a 2006 911 turbo, my girl has really gotten into cars since she met me and now she wants something sporty. I was test driving it out pretty much for her.

So I guess you could say I can handle a 911 but the 300z is to much for me.

You state it was a Turbo. The Carrera S is 2wd not AWD as the Turbo is which has led some people to thinking that it was a contributing cause of your accident. I.E. going from an AWD car to a 2WD car which appears to have NOT been the case.

Live and learn and move on, but I couldn't help but notice.

just like a fight. if you have never been beat up you are not truly skilled.

So you're saying that that crash makes you a real driver? That is truly moronic...

i'm sure he's not the only one to ever crash during a test drive

i banged up a FX50s the other day, took the bus back to the dealership.

In the very unlikely event that this story is true, your karma may come later when you hear the sentence "It was 100% my fault" read back to you in court, from this thread where the paralegal will find it.

i will be driving too fast for them to ever catch me!

anyway, before the crash i was loving the z. i have watched the top gear Australia review of the 370z and they said the engine sounds like a tractor. are they nuts? i love the sound of the engine on this car. going to order the auto paddle shifter base model in Pearl White. i hope she is a little less brave then me.
