I actually backed up into my wife's Xterra in the driveway. Backing out at an angle and judged the distance wrong. It make a dent really small which wasn't even that noticeable.

+1 Cold tires make a difference. I'm sure your not the first to experience this problem so don't feel bad.

I have 2 incidents. First, I scraped the bottom of my front bumper when I went off the road a bit pushing it too hard on a turn. I think the tires got a little wet from driving through some puddles and the back end started to slide out. Managed to straighten it out but ran out of road and had 2 wheels go off the road and into some mud.

2nd time was when I rear ended some lady when she slammed on the brakes in her pickup truck for no apparent reason. :shakes head:

Wonder how long it will take red__zed to reply to this post. Your being timed now Dan! :eekdance:

So are we blaming VDC off or your mismatched summer front tires + all season rear tire setup?? :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

Ouch, sorry to hear about your crash Doom, luckily no one got injured. You probably had the SRM on as well. When I first got the car and was trying to get used to the power, I had a serious and accidental burned out while taking a turn at a traffic light. I was in control the whole time, the car was still revving though my foot was off the gas. VDC OFF + SRM would do what you experienced.

You shouldn't have turned off VDC especially when you're tired from work. As for the 1-3 mph in 1st gear and a little gas to get to 2nd story, that sounds like BS to me. I think that you just don't want to admit you've done something stupid and it was your fault so you change up on the story.

Just my opinion.

I always ride with VDC off and when I plan to have fun from time to time from a standing stop or first gear pull while turning I always have to feather the trottle to regain traction from keeping it going around on me. But I also have a great LSD that more than makes me feel comfortable at all times. It's a great piece to have.

But experience sounds like the issue. Plus it sounds as if you where on cold tires also. But I would never do this where other cars are directly around me.
:iagree: .... Spun the G35 6MT around one time on cold tires. I also drive with VDC off 24-7...

A couple of these stories sound like the obvious reminder: never go when you can't see - unfortunately not all for the 370Z drivers though.

If someone blocks my vision, I just wait. I'm never in that much of a hurry.

However, I have (lightly) curbed my left rear twice trying to turn in a limited space - something about the car makes it hard for me to make a tight corner well.

I sharted in the passenger side seat one night when my gf was driving me home drunk. I dont know who was pissed more, my gf because thats her regular seat or stanley steamer carpet cleaning for having such a $hitty change order!!

You should always keep your VDC on!

However, I will continue to turn mine off as I've done since 2009 without any incident.
