I didn't care for the off topic discussion and yes it was removed.

The Op didn't ask for his thread about what sadly happened to his car to be derailed.

Back on Topic!

Why wouldn't it be? Guy was unfortunate on an icy road. Vdc wouldn't have mattered

I live in OK also, and I can tell you that when we say ice storm, we really mean pure ice on the road. It was bad, I doubt VDC would have made any difference. My DD Maxima was all over the place.

Sorry, wasn't trying to be a jerk. We just get a lot of crap down here for not being able to "drive on the snow". I wish it was just snow

no problem man, cos I do believe VDC in snow/icy condition, otherwise I would have total my 350z (I used to have one) twice on icy road.

Someone in the OK Z club saw this car and posted pics trying to figure out who it was. Glad you are ok, it looked nasty. That storm was bad and I am glad I still have my old jeep because the roads were solid ice and there isn't much you can do. I know a guy in the Z club who was selling his 2011 Nismo, not sure if he has sold it yet but if you want I can ask. He is only selling it so he can buy a new house. It's Black too

Sorry to hear that man. At least you're okay.

ZeroZeta · 01-06-2014, 12:17 PM

Glad you walked away from that Yetamedi.

The ice on the car in the photos is pretty telling.

Any thoughts on the replacement yet?

Always hate to hear these Z death stories but am glad you are fine.

There is a very good chance, that with winter tires, he would have recovered but with how bad the roads were, OK does a piss poor job with clearing and sanding, it's hard to tell. I was sliding in 4low while in my jeep and my tires do great in snow and ice. With the weather we have here, you need a dedicated winter set for days like that, summer will not work as the OP learned the hard way.
