I don't understand, wouldn't loose gravel have made it skid? Was his car heavily modded? if he had a lot of parts, he could probably get a decent amount of money back. z32's themselves aren't really worth that much anymore, but if he can part out what he had that wasn't damaged, he could make out OK.

ilive2win 07-19-2010 02:31 PM

no, it wasnt heavily modded and it was NA. i think what had happen was he started to take the turn too wide, the right rear tire hit loose gravel which threw his right rear tire into the dirt, almost like an unplanned drift. i THINK he over corrected and lost it and spun out backwards into the inside bank which then hit the inside bank just right backwards which then rolled the car over slowly. he was already rolled over when me and the gtr were going into the turn and held up by the toyota. i think thats what happen but i just saw the dirt kicked up by the rear right tire so dont quote me on this, but you can see in the pix that he went into the inside bank backwards

-he was running bfgoodrich g-force tires-

I bet that was a 94.5 z32 :shakes head: the only thing better than a 94.5 z32 was the 04.5 z33...:driving:

Goes to show out with the old in with the new. Now the owner can buy a real Z a Z34 but only if he doesnt flip this one. :tup:

Glad the guy is okay, but poor taste to post pictures of the accident IMO.

I dont see how. It's a great tool to let people know what happens when you drive reckless or in this case just hit a bit of bad luck in the road with sum gravel. It reminded me to be a bit more of a cautious driver if anything

We moved the decapitated heads off the road before we took the pictures so it wouldn't be in bad taste.

ilive2win 07-19-2010 09:47 PM

i dont think i would have posted the pix if something seriously bad happen to the driver. but i got the drivers "ok" to post them up before hand

Jairen 07-19-2010 10:54 PM

lol not trying to sound like a bad buy but when i saw this pic i started laughin because of how you have the sexy view of your car and then you see a flip z32 in the background. lol

dlmartin81 07-20-2010 08:55 AM

hehe....yeah.....and I'm surprised he didn't put his fiance in this shot too....haha.

ilive2win 07-20-2010 09:02 AM

lol, you guys are crazy... i took that pic after finding out the driver was ok and we were sitting there waiting for the tow truck for 20 min. i made sure it was ok with the driver first before taking the pix and before posting them so its all good.

plus im not sure how i would incorporate the fiance into that pic haha jk

Crayzitalian3 07-20-2010 09:04 AM

lol you could of had her kneeling next to the tire throwin up gang signs

SgtGoldy 07-20-2010 10:51 AM

Well.....from the previous pics I've seen of her (as most have too) taken by you, I'm sure you could have figured out a clever way of adding her to the shot.....hehe.

CrownR426 07-20-2010 05:42 PM

lol yah, that has to be one of the most creative/awesome photos i've seen of the z yet!
btw, im almost positive that he took the turn much faster than that speed.
lol...

vividracing 07-20-2010 07:33 PM

I hope the driver is ok. It is very hard to regain control and not flip when the rear tires are side ways and the front is on pavement. I've seen it happen a lot on the track. When the rear tires get completely sideways and start digging into the ground, woooh scary.

Hahahaha you beat me to it. I'm not knockin whoever's car that is, just kinda looks odd and is not the ideal canyon cruiser. But in hindsight, the Grand Am made it through on all 4 wheels.
