I think I'll keep mine on for the commute home today. Sorry for your bad luck - kind of a wake up call for me - maybe others too. My Dad passed away 15 years ago - wish he was still around to thrash my car.

Nothing quite yet. Debating on buying some new side skirts or seeing how much of it they can fix.

I think the Z is a lot of car for your average 18 year old. So I find humor in that his dad is the one who lost control. Also, I have friends who grew up karting since they could reach the pedals, and I'd guarantee they're more skilled drivers than most people who've only driven on the road.
I'm used to seeing the kids at the local HS leave campus in some pretty amazing cars, easily in the 30-40k range. How he can afford it is moot. |

Sucks about your car, but at least every time your Dad knocks your driving skills, you can say "hey, remember when you trashed my practically spotless Z"?

This. Or oil. Hitting the gas a tiny bit doesn't spin the wheels like crazy. Sorry. Even with the VDC off. I never drive with the VDC on and I'm putting down moar powaaaa! and that just don't happen sonny. With that said.. good for pops! Sounds like he was having a good time. Too bad about the boo boo though..

You discover capability at the track. I don't recommend finding it on the street. Hey, driving with the VDC off isn't for everyone I guess. And that's ok. Edit: I'm just so sick and tired of the stupid mention of VDC whenever someone spins out or hits something. If you got there in the first place, VDC probably wasn't going to help you anyway. |
