Glad your ok. Sorry about the Z. It doesn't look totaled i'm guessing around
10 to 11 grand.
As for myself a guy's got to know his limitations i drive with vdc on.

In my specific case I do believe the VDC would have compensated for my ignorance with this specific car. And so that is why I started the post. Many factors played a part in my crash and any number of things could have prevented it. It just so happens that the most important part was the gray matter between my ears. Many of the responses have entertained and several have actually helped so it's been worth my time. Think I'll go pull the stop light fuse next........just kiddn'.

No doubt. I feel you bro. None of us are perfect. We all make are mistakes. N we all have our moments. And that's what can make a forum great. And the info should help those careless drivers think twice about how they drive.

I just hope u never took it like I was knockin you bro. And good luck with your new Z.

If the car oversteers when youre not trying to make it oversteer, you should either be in an emergency maneuver or under extraordinary road conditions (ice, mud, etc). Sliding should never really be a surprise if you have any idea about what you're doing...

Experience isn't just about knowing what to do when it does happen, its more importantly about how to keep it from happening in the first place.

People need to start thinking "what if" a little bit more..."what if I lose control here? where does my car end up?" is it a risk worth taking? Probably not.

Exactly. You should know exactly how the car is going to react to what you're doing right now and what you are about to do at the next corner or wherever. Nothing should come as a surprise!

+1 RCZ.

For the deer or the driver? Probably both.
