if the VDC was off it wasnt me that turned it off and i didnt see any warning sign on the dash.

how old are you?
why were you driving so fast in a teat car let aloen any car that you could not safely control and why did you not allow a margin of error?

You are sad and not worthy to own a Zed, and you have the nerve to post about it. Idiot.

The car was pretty bad. Front left side is smashed in, whole left side and ripped to hell and the back left is smash in pretty good too. I imagine it would be far more then 5-6k worth of damage.

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.

Dang nice ride. I would really like to test drive it.
Come on people, it was a freak accident. Poop happens. It's not like he can't handle driving a sports car, hell he drives a 911.
A Z is a nice car but it's no 911 in comparison.

Wrong - owning a 911 doesn't make you a driver. In fact, he proved he doesn't know the first thing about real driving (which is to learn how a car handles/performs/responds before you push it).
