This is the way I grind on the curb! Watch out... (clip inside)

Not meant as a low blow. He had some bad misfortune with his first Z is all. It wasn't due to driving stupidly or anything like that.

No worries. Here's a link to his thread on what happened to his first Z if you're interested. My story......

+1 to the people who mentioned not standing near someone driving like an idiot. There is more than one idiot in this video.

WOOOW that sh*t was intense, I saw something just like that live here in boston. I was at a dive bar in the ghetto 2 guyz were fighting, one jumped into his car and ran over a group of girls and dudes just having smokes outside. S.O.B almost ran over my new diesel shoes,, That sh*t was crazy I can still remember holding the girl down trying to get up and telling not to move till paramedics got there. BTW ******* got away.

Ask me if the 370Z is a safe car...I'd have to say very safe! I see my story was posted in the thread by semtex...and no, semtex meant no disrespect by saying I wrecked my first 370 because.....well.....I did! Mine was a true accident....what happened on the video could have been avoided. Perhaps mine could have been, too but in my case everyone survived! That one looked really bad. (Not to say any accident is wonderful by any means)

Well, the reason I mentioned you is because chupacabra noted how in the video the guy's hazard lights start flashing right after the accident, and wonders if they come on automatically in the event of an accident as a feature of the Z. I thought maybe you could answer that question, considering you've had an accident in a 370Z. Do you recall your hazards coming on automatically after your wreck? I'm guessing that there's no such feature, but I can't say for sure.

I know Caddy has had that feature for several years.
