Default Crashed the 370z on Test Drive..

Went in yesterday to look at the 370z. On test drive the sales guy kept pushing me to "push it harder". Floored it as I was comming down an overpass with a slight right curve. Car went *** backwards into the medium at 77 mph and spun and hit the front. Nobody was hurt but the the Z was finished.

Bad *** car though, I will be going to a different dealer now though. They didnt seem to want my business.

i didnt see any warning light on the dash if it was. i certinaly didnt turn it off. the sales guy had to go pick it up from a lot like 10 minutes away. so if he turned it off and didnt tell me thats on him.

Did you say something awesomely witty, like, you look up from your airbag and say "I'll have to think about it, she's a bit of a fixer upper"

i do remember the sales guy screaming a bit. big tall guy sounded like he was a 10 year old girl. i should have responded with "relax, everything is under control" as we were spinning.

lol.

i think it was the combo of comming down a slight hill with a right turn and me flooring it at that exact moment. i do remember being surprised the the back was going out but I was thinking even until we hit the medium that everything was in control. lmao.
