Happy to Be alive :), Friend totaled 350Z Options

[CupCrazy38]

Well, I was with my friend this weekend over at UGA. As we were driving along, another friend cut us off. I was in the passenger seat with my friend daniel in his 350Z and he decided to pass them and get back in front of them for cutting him off.

Well, the road curved to the right, and a raccoon was in the road. We hit the raccoon and started to fish tail. My friend over-corrected to the right, so he tried to go left... when he did, we did a 180 and went across 4 lanes of traffic facing the wrong way. Barely missed hitting 2 other cars, then hit the curb sideways.

Then we went through this guys yard and took out a fence. At that point the back end hit a tree and popped the car verticle. It spun around and landed upside down in some kudzu.

Needless to say, the car is totaled. The amazing part is, my friend and I both walked away un-hurt for the most part. I cut my hand a bit and I'm a little sore, as is my friend, but we're alive. We took some pictures of the car the next day with my other friends camera. I'll try and post them to my profile if I can get the pics off him.

I will say this, the car definitely held up pretty well considering. 5-Star crash rating seems to be pretty accurate.

Agree with the view that inexperienced kids should not drive such cars.

Consider this though;

Would it be better if the "kids" are driving modified Hondas/Integras? Have you ever seen what remains from such a car after an accident. Last year there was an accident in an Integra in my country, which was hit in the side by a Merc at high speed. The car was split in half and the guys in it were killed instantly. Just about a same accident happened to a friend with a 6gc and the people in the car walked away. The car was totalled offcourse but at least it was not split in half and the people in it were not hurt. And by the way, the celi was a 94 import with no airbags. If it had airbags, even the small cut on the head of the passenger would have been avoided.
