Important thing is that you're alive and well. Enjoy modding the car and it's good to take it slow!

There's no such thing as modding slowly in my back :driving:

That's true.

Sorry for your loss. That was a beautiful 350! Really glad you are ok. This is exactly why I love the Z community. Stories like this (minus the catastrophic off road excursion) are everywhere. I attribute it to the mind control devices built into the Z. Once you get in one, you're done. :ughdance:

That's the bad part I guess. The coilovers are going to be several weeks at the most. But you know how that goes.

Damn, your 370z looks so ugly compare to the old 350z !!

I know it's gonna change soon though !!

That's funny. Hopefully most of what I want will be done in three months. Then I'll carry it out for the rest of the year buyng things here and there. I'm already running into things like it will take two months here three months there for parts. Part of the game.

I'm always scared something like this will happen to me one day. Things like this always reminds me to drive carefully around local roads.

Anyway, glad to see you back in a Z!

SPOHN 01-19-2011 06:44 PM

It can happen. I fill as I'm a good overall driver. That day was just bad circumstances. It was cold, the moutain had snow and ice at the top. But there was lots of pea gravel everywhere. More so where this happen. The hole turn was covered and I was trying to maintain my lane and line. Which in turn didn't give me enough road. There wasn't ice or snow where this went down. I couldn't of been going more than 45mph. I had just came out of a hard right uphill turn. I went to hit third gear and wasn't in it to long as the next turn came quickly. I was in the gravel before the turn and as I started to brake it just slide staright at first with some control but not enough as I went threw the turn. I had the car about stop but not enough.

This has scared me though. You know how that say you fall down get back up and do it again. Well I never did so I still have some fear to over come. But I think on a positive note for that day I was pushing it and if you push it and these things happen you learn from them and get better. You can't become good or better driver unless you push yourself and your car. If you never have spun out at the track then you are not pushing and testing yourself to become better. And I know I wasn't at the track that day!
