Poor Nismo. But the important thing is that you are alright.

Gadgetech · 01-04-2014, 01:35 PM

Man that really puts a damper on the day…you going to get another one? Good to know you got through it all safely.

I read the title at first and thought the worst "did a fellow member pass away?"

Glad to see that wasn't the case

and sorry

to see what happened But glad to hear your Okay and no one got hurt.

Sorry about the Z

Looking at the pics were you driving around with the stock tires instead of winter tires?

I don't know if that could've played a factor into what happened.

As someone else who totaled a z car, let me say that I'm sorry to see the car was crashed, but I'm glad that you're ok (which is the important thing). Cars can be replaced.

sorry to hear...

kfull · 01-04-2014, 02:39 PM

summer tires on icy roads is a big no-no, glad to hear you're ok though.

skidad62 · 01-04-2014, 02:47 PM

op ... were those stock tires... they don`t look like winters?

Glad you're okay

FWD, AWD, RWD you still only have four contact patches on the road and control on ice is marginal or virtually nonexistent If he was using the OEM summer tires they get hard as hockey pucks below 30 degrees and are literally worthless on snow and ice.

kenchan · 01-04-2014, 06:02 PM

sorry to see, op. but glad to hear you're okay.

I didn't care for the off topic discussion and yes it was removed.

The Op didn't ask for his thread about what sadly happened to his car to be derailed.

Back on Topic!
