I almost destroyed my Z!!

I almost killed it. I took I right turn after I put the car in first and I think there was some oil on the road or something cause the car started to fish-tail and some how I hit the gas insted of the brake which made it do it again right into oncoming traffic and I **** you not I missed a panel van by like 2 inches!!! If my face was next to my window my chin hairs could have touched the van. I almost Shat myself!!!

Wow man that is crazy. At least you are allright, and so is the Z. Yeah you got to watch out for those unexpected road hazards. They can sneak up on you, and wreck your day. Anyway glad to hear everything's cool.

Like I said I hit the gas insted of the brake which sent the car the other way...I really wasn't going that fast or trying to kill myself. The chin hairs are gonna get way longer my friend.
