Thumbs down Crashed 350z... no pics

When I was on my way to school today it was already raining alot. It was just enuf above freezing to rain, otherwise it would be a blizzard. Its also foggy/misty out so you cant see too good. So Im going down I80w and on the other side of the road there are all kinds of sirens and flashing lights so when I go by I look over and see this totally smashed up 350Z. It was silver and the whole front end was messed up; fenders, hood, bumper, wheels, and it even looked like the doors and mirrors were messed up a bit. Anyhow, it was just a very bad/sad thing to see.

Also the other day when we got our first snow of the year there was a black vette facing the wrong way half way in the ditch on the other side of the road.

When are people going to figure out you cant drive your nice sports cars when its shitty out???

Almost the same thing happend in Tampa the other day when it was raining, but instead it was an rx-8. Sad thing to see isn't it? Dumb people need to treat their cars with respect but hey u know exactly what they thought........"oh well, I'll just go buy another one" LoL

That's not entirely true. Some of the Zs have traction control . . . would be hard to tell if that particular one had it, though. My guess: Hit a patch of standing water with summer tires on . . . just about ANYONE would lose control. To some extent, anyway.

I've lost control of my car going 20 MPH in icy conditon driving a fwd civic. I cannot imagine what the conditos would be like driving a rwd, 5.0 mustang, 240, or 350. It is very hard to keep those cars under control even in the rain. You have to be extra careful.
