Took the Z offroading unintentionally after someone in the lane next to me started fishtailing. Spun a 180 at about 45 mph trying to get out of the way and ended up offroad in the muddy grass. Roadside assistance winched the Z back onto the road, though, and I drove it home with no problems. Both the car and I seem no worse for the wear

Thanks! Definitely used up some karma on that one.

The tow guy didn't even charge me because he didn't actually have to tow me anywhere (I'm sure my insurance is paying whatever fee he actually charged for the trip). He just used the winch to get me back on the road surface and said it was covered under my roadside assistance

That explains the post about people that can't control their cars in emergencies.... Glad you didn't bend anything and didn't have to change your shorts...

Rolled it back about a foot to prevent flat spotting. It's been sitting about a month now.

Mine would have the slight thump from just sitting during the week. I also forgot to over inflate the tires before putting it away so I figured it won't hurt.

Had the snow tires put on today! Makes my car seem like those guys at the gym who have huge upper bodies and then really skinny legs
