No, I believe seeing how the 2003-2008 350z is cheaper in price and being bought by the immature, the new owners are over confident in what they own or are just not using their brain. Just my opinions...... its unfortunate for a Z to be treated this way.

I won't lie though, sometimes I still miss my 350z >.> Her accident wasn't nearly was horrifying as some of these, and DEFINITELY wasn't my fault. It's all the other NJ drivers that can't drive in the rain

The G35 around here are going for $4000 with over 100,000 miles to $13,000 with a bit less miles and closer to 2008.
Yes, its quite funny or irritating watching people appearing to forget how to drive when it rains. I feel physics is an essential thing to teach most young adults. It may save lives.

I have to agree that its because the 350z is becoming very affordable. give the 09 370z a few more years and its going to be the same thing.

I think that immaturity and the lack of driving skills behind the wheel of a true sports car can lead to these type of accidents. My son sold his Kawasaki ZX-11 many years ago to a younger kid who did not have a lot of riding experience. The last thing my son said to him was, "try not killing yourself." Well, about 2 weeks later, this kid was riding in a fashion that he was not used to and t-boned a car at an intersection. Fortunately, the kid wasn't hurt too bad.
Something with speed potential and an inexperienced driver can be very dangerous indeed...

- Daily Reflector
"Roney “Wesley” Allen, 21, of 2700 Brookridge Circle died from injuries he suffered Monday night after he lost control of his 2008 Nissan 350Z, police reported. The car crossed the center line about 6:20 p.m. and spun into the path of an oncoming pickup near the intersection of East 10th Street and Silver Maple Lane."

No, you're not an ****, I completely agree, however I feel the only reason I keep updating this is hopefully the right people see this and hopefully at least understand nobody is invincible. I feel bad for both the people and cars as this could be anyone's family member or friend. We as a human race need to be exposed to these things to hopefully save a life, either through parenting or looking out for friends. Most here in these stories probably know/knew better, only if they had a bit more self control and knowledge lives could be saved.

Hey I mean **** happens, but when you don't learn from your own or even others mistakes/reckless actions then that "accident" is no longer an accident. I don't know about you guys but I've learned from both my own experience and just reading sad articles like these to keep my racing for the track
