Nismo Accident Pics -- Very Sad

Matt · 02-23-2010, 02:37 AM

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!

I just want to say that I don't think anyone has the mindset that they are a perfect driver, I certainly know I don't.

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.

That sums it up exactly.
