Wrecked...

wolf370z

You're 17 and your parents bought you a fully loaded touring, nav., 7-speed auto? How long have you been driving this?!

About your story... can you help clarify? Because something really isn't adding up. I'm very sorry for your loss but just help me with this one.

So how I read it was you were trying to get in the left lane to make a left turn but you didn't see the man in the lane already and he speeds up so you swerve to avoid hitting him.... so you cut backwards and over correct, making you hit this poor little old lady who was going the opposite way?

Or were you trying to turn left and the guy tried to fly around you and you tried to "swerve" out of his way but ended up misjudging the distance and she slams into you?

So you caused this accident and this poor little old lady's lip is bleeding and can't breathe because of YOU and yet you still have the arrogance to claim she was full of BS?

Look, I tried to take this with a grain of salt but this just has stupid and disrespectful kid all over it.

I am sincerely sorry you wrecked your car though, it looked very nice. I also drive a solid red and understand your love with the car but sometimes you gotta sit back and be thankful that 1. You are alive, 2. The old lady is alive, and 3. That your parents are still alive, have not killed you, and were cool enough to give you a Z. I hope you learn from this and that your future cars will be manuals.

You said all the oil leaked out of the car, but you decided to try to start it ?


You have no idea about insurance and how it works, yet you own a 370z, thats a red flag to me..

You also make fun of the lady, and the car she drives. A toyota camry, which is a nice mid-sized family car that is a very reliable car that will go for 200k miles, not everyone has parents to just buy them 40k sports car. Her repair you say will cost 10 dollars, one that your insurance company will pay and will NOT cost 10 dollars.. Next time you are at toyota go check out how much a camry costs. Than look at a Z's cost.. A camry isnt a POS. Atleast that car made it "15 years" without deciding to drive in the wrong lane.

also, the cop looks like he is wearing sweat pants.

17 years old and driving that kind of car is just asking for trouble....

I would just like to call mention to my thread about, KIDS AND 370s

A lot of people told me to not let it bother me and to mind my own business... (of coarse there were people that agreed with me)

Then you get kids like this...17 years old, totalling brand new cars... pissed that mommy and daddy wont buy them another car like this... and saying that they have a car that most people would only dream about.


Yes your car is totalled, no your folks wont buy you anything like this ever again, yes the lady is hurt, and yes you will probably be paying her medical bills for years to come... finally, this is now a car that YOU will only be able to dream about.

I hope this kid gets a 1997 2.2L SOHC Sunfire 4D after all this.

Radek, it still doesn't change the fact that calling all 17 yr olds irresponsible is a crass and broad generalization. There are exceptions to every rule, mon ami.

radek7633

Absolutely agree!

I am sure there are some young adults out there that value and respect the car for all it is and wont damage it.

I am sure there are some young adults out there that value and respect the car but because of their inexperience will not be able to keep the car on the road (especially a 300 horse RWD).

but the key word up above is "young adults"... sure 17,18,19,20 etc, one can still be a child at this age, especially if coddled by his/her parents...in which case we have an individual as our friend who posted this thread.

he is a kid if he tells someone "yo that part is worth more than your house".

But ultimately I agree that generalizing is something to avoid =)

shadoquad

In fact, in that age range, the same individual may be mature/immature depending on the day, their mood, and the situation.

I did some really stupid things in cars in that age range, and while my first cars weren't expensive, they were sporty cars. I survived, and I learned to respect performance cars. Could have hurt myself though. Plenty of close calls

No doubt. I've somehow worked through a 700 horse s2000 (at 20!) and a 500 horse civic (at 18!) without a single accident.

Of course, all this came on my own dime, so maybe that is part of the difference.

radek7633

money is no object when someone finances your life, but when you earn the things you have, then there is a different level of respect for them all together

PS. good job on a 700 horse s2000, great car to do that to as well
