I'm usually a defensive driver.
I watch the behavior of the drivers around me.
If I see someone driving aggressively, I keep out of their way, or else they'll jump lanes so fast, they'll barely clear the car behind them as they switch lanes. I hate people who do this.
If you saw that driver coming, you should make any attempt to avoid them at least.

Sorry to hear but I must say you were kinda asking for it. I can't think of one good reason to be driving with VDC off in the rain. Good luck with the repairs.

Well all you got to do is search VDC OFF and you will find a TON of accidents.

Glad you are OK.

Turned your VDC off when the roads were wet? Seems reasonable.

Cut him some slack guys.

Glad your ok..... Z can be repaired/fixed.

Hugoneus · 02-08-2011, 10:32 PM

First off, good thing you are OK.

But you turn the VDC off during a rainy day on city streets? Why exactly? What were you hoping to accomplish? I am sorry, but you asked for this.

Maybe... but driving the Z w/o VDC is also a recipe for disaster as the OP found out. As a driver, you rely on your own skills and the car's handling to control what you can, to include avoiding the idiots this govt allows to drive.

$8,700 seems low for that much damage. More like $10k to get it back close to factory spec. That rear quarter panel is one of the worst spots to get hit. Glad to hear your Ok & at least insurance will cover it.
