Crashed the 370z on Test Drive..

nurburgring · 07-05-2009, 01:25 PM

The car was pretty bad. Front left side is smashed in, whole left side and ripped to hell and the back left is smash in pretty good too. I imagine it would be far more then 5-6k worth of damage.

Let me be clear, not blaming the car at all, it was 100% my fault. Not used to the feel of the car and it got away from me. I drive a 2006 911 turbo, my girl has really gotten into cars since she met me and now she wants something sporty. I was test driving it out pretty much for her.

So I guess you could say I can handle a 911 but the 300z is to much for me.

You state it was a Turbo. The Carrera S is 2wd not AWD as the Turbo is which has led some people to thinking that it was a contributing cause of your accident. I.E. going from an AWD car to a 2WD car which appears to have NOT been the case.

Live and learn and move on, but I couldn't help but notice.
