I'd be so PO'd if I was the owner of that Altima. And please tell me he didn't lose control of the Z in a straight line...

It was freezing and raining all day yesterday, I mean all day. No eyewitness reports but the road there is curved, he might have punched it and lost control easily.
Cold tires+inexperience+powerful RWD car+cold+rain=recipe for disaster

yeah the kid was stupid, but the parents that purchased a sports car for a 16 y/o without considering that s**t like this is a recipe for disaster(yes, yes, there are always exceptions, but by and large US "driver education" is a joke) deserve to be flogged. fortunately they'll be taking up the when their insurance renews.

Well hey, at least no one died or got hurt (that's assuming that no one got hurt, of course, which I hope is true). It doesn't even look like the airbags deployed, though.

And drivers' ed in the US focuses on safety and awareness, which I would hope teaches people not to do dumb stuff. I think situations like this show a massive failure in terms of imparting the lesson that is intended to be taught.
