Wow. He must not be good at driving. Maybe some people should not drive. Also he must be so horrible at driving because he was driving an automatic G and still lost control.

dam brothat really sucks. luckily no one got hurt which is the main thing. Insurance will take care of it. Your "ding' isn't too bad. That is repairable within a weeks time.
The owner of the G35 is screwed hard core though. Thas allot of damage to his car, on top of that damage to your car, the property damage....what a retard....
G/L getting everythign straightened out ASAP bro....

Yeah i'm pretty sure he doesnt pay anything towards the car. It was a new 07'. and he didn't seem to know much about cars. All he knew is that it was a pretty car that went fast. His girlfriend was flirting me a little while we were all standing around, maybe she thought my car was much prettier, and i wasn't a dumbass that didn't know how to drive like her boyfriend.
maybe that what she was thinking !
"Aww damn, my bf is a total jerk, hey ... that guy and his car is much cutier

He also said that once his back end let loose, he kept the wheel pointing the same way, and just let off the gas. Instead of correcting it and turning the wheel the other way...God this kid didn't know how to drive. We never got above 35 mph, so i'm still not sure how he hit the wall, if he would of slammed on the brakes, he would have stayed on the road..

Damn. That kid needs to go to driving school. Luckily no one was hurt.
His insurance will probably go through the roof after this accident, but it doesn't look like he's hurting for money.
Good luck on getting everything fix.

by being 19 and not really knowing how to drive
it's actually kinda weird, after thinking about it. so he must've really floored it to lose control like that, and he must've been driving w/ traction control off. otherwise the car should've saved him. i thought you can't completely turn off traction control on g35s. but then again, if he wasn't smart or quick enough to step on the brakes, nothing matters...

So I'm not sure how this is possible. I have a 2006 Automatic G35 as well and I can't get the tires to squeal like you said they did even when flooring it in first. Was the asphalt slick? Maybe his tires were bald. Secondly, the traction control should take over. You can turn it off with a button on the bottom left, but why would he do that if he isn't at the track/trying to drift (though in the automatic, that seems kind of stupid). I call epic fail on his ability to break. He probably floored it rather than smashing on the break.

Yeah i asked him about that too, because with how smashed in his front was, i was very surprised his airbags did not deploy. Somebody said something about if your not going over 35 mph, then they won't deploy? I'm not sure if that's true or not but...maybe they were defective.

my girl had an 06 g35 automatic. definitely enough power to break the tires loose from a stop. traction can be completely turned off too.
they're slow to react too, they aren't as nimble as say an 8 or s2k
