    From the daytime pic it appears that it had rained the night before....so probably wouldn't leave a mark but enough to loose control...but was it a front or rear tire and why would it catch in a straight unless it was a slide right onto that road to an over correct and slide left to a slide right again to where it went on the grass then gravel and vette.

    Wayne, does this mean no sushi for a while?! Mmm...super crunch rolls & shrimp tempura!

    I dunno, I turned left at the stop..swerved a couple of times to see if the tires would rub...Then something caught and the car yanked to the left...I tried to swing it back on the road but I was in the dirt...the car just slid down the hill until I hit the gravel and then it turned towards the road...even though I was only going like 20 mph the whole thing happened uber fast

    damn, that sucks...the z can be evil...don't see to many drifting do ya? The balance is so perfect on them (with a certain amount of fuel anyways) but i think that's what makes them so unpredictable sometimes too and with a really good tire and suspension setup you have no warning... it's either traction or no traction...no body roll and/or squealing to help predict what's happening next.
