My friends 350z wrecked two control arms last Saturday :/

No fun, how'd he manage that?

To quote his sister, "He was hit by a curb." In actuality: he hit a curb. We were out in some abandoned roads (no traffic, people, or anything really) and he got a little too confident around a corner.

I'm nearing that, 18.6k as of now.

So, I'd imagine either understeer or oversteer got him? Seeing as these manage to suffer from both.

Bug: Well, off to the store to get so-
Z: * pulls out* Tha fuck you think you're goin' bitch?
Bug: What? oh, well I was just-
Z: Naw, brah. Stay your ass put. The bros and some hot chicks are coming over for the game tonight, and we're gonna need someone to go get the snacks and not eat them. That's you.
Bug: Could I have some this one time? Maybe even join you guys for the game? Maybe?
Z: No. Don't want you nerding away all the hotties, though I might let you in if a few turn out to be grenades. You can have those.
Bug: And maybe then I could watch the game wi-
Z: No. Just stick to that pussy-ass bullshit soccer crap you like to watch, and let the REAL MEN watch real football.
Bug:...ok.

This 350Z has only 20k miles? That is quite a find if you found it used. Mine has 80k when I sold it, has massive electrical issues as well which is unusual for those cars. Would of kept it if not for that.

That's a milestone too cool to miss, I'm going to pay constant attention to it.

20000 and some change but it has 20k for some moments this morning yes, lol :) And yeah, it had 18,XXX....something or rather when I bought it last year

Oversteer. Bald rear tires and a gravel patch threw him sideways.

Yeah, I had balding stock fronts on her last year and cheap rears (what came on her) last year on a high speed cruise in the mountains (yay Colorado :D ) but this was right after winter and a bunch of shitty weather, soo, there was a 30 foot run of slush, and a shit ton of gravel, so wet gravely tires. I pretty much under steered into every corner and over steered out of every corner. Big fat Michelin Pilot SS's on 18x9.5 in Enkei's on all 4 corners solved both those issues.

I'd call that a lesson cheaply learned... Years ago, I was in the back seat when a buddy of mine was taught the same lesson by a crack instructional team of curb-wall. In his dad's brand new '04 GTO.

Cheaply learned is right, no one was hurt and it was relatively low speed. Sorry to hear about the GTO though :/

Somehow managed to hit both the front and rear fender without damaging the mirror. Still trying to figure that one out. The front fender got unbolted and replaced, but the rear quarter skin on most unibody cars is load-bearing... even after repair it was never the same.

Eventually got sold and replaced with a Saturn Sky Redline.

I've never been a big fan of the Sky/Solstice, but I've also never driven either one.

More than one nice car in this picture

Indeed, the Beetle has a fair bit more then 20k on it though, haha

TDogg > CPT Speedbump
09/28/2014 at 13:29

That's not necessarily a bad thing. The running average for all the cars I've owned is 175k lol

CPT Speedbump > TDogg
09/28/2014 at 19:53

I honestly don't know how many the Beetle has.. it's odometer only has 5 digits, and I'm 99 percent sure that it's been all the way around atleast once, lol
