Damn. Another one down????? These guys have got to calm down. I haven't even picked mine up yet and I'm nervous now. Not because of lack of skill, but because some knucklehead may be goofing off and wreck into me. Maybe I'll just keep it in the garage, lol.

BS flag your buddy couldn't have turned it off and kept it off unless the car ran the whole night. Note to others keep the VDC on unless you know what you're doing. Sorry to hear about your accident, I'll say it here just as in previous threads, you can get it fixed but it won't feel 100% the same.

Oh and it's going to take FOREVER I think it took Juan about 4 months, very hard to get Nismo parts, hopefully done by June/July

Wasn't there a thread a while back where a guy claimed his mom wrecked his Z?

While it takes some balls to own up to your own mistake (well, besides blaming it partially on a friend), you had to expect a little bit of flames from the self-righteous, perfect drivers on these boards. You know, the ones that have never sped, over-accelerated, under-steered, or made any other mistake behind the wheel of a performance car.
Hope the car is ok, and you avoid whatever mistakes you made in the future. Poor Nismo! I learned my lesson the easy way with VDC. Went through a series of twists and turns without my VDC on (had NO idea exactly what it was going to do, and was thinking it would increase my accelerating capabilities). I almost lost control around a corner, but was able to countersteer and slow down a bit. I got off with just a little sweat on my forehead and a crappy feeling in the pit of my stomach. VDC has been left on to this day!

If this had happened on a track everyone would simply be posting "well, ****, that sucks - glad you're okay." The fact is that this was on the street and was preventable. I'm sure everyone is glad the dude is okay, but it's clear it could've been prevented if a little maturity was involved. |

Yeah, seriously... just own up! Don't delete the pics and try to drop it on a friend. Wonder if we'll ever see the OP around here again (at least under that user name?).

Nah, it's not the fault of the VDC being on or off, it's Newton's fault. Him and his dang laws of physics. Disobey the law and you're done!
