kirakiraさん、答えてくださってありがとうございます!� ��れからもよろしくおねがいしますね!

(Finally someone came and answered my questions other than Sashimister )

Yup I know this さ is different from the one using for i-adjectives. I just don't know how it sounds like.

As Sashimister has already pointed out it's a masculine particle, as a girl I guess I just have to know what it is but not how to use it. :P

Sometimes a verb can be negated by using ず and followed by に, how is it different from なくて? Does it sound more formal?

On the other hand, I also see something like "~ないでXXX", how is it different from "~なくてXXX"?

Let me list them out in a tidy way:
...車を運転せずに済みます。
...車を運転しなくて済みます。
...車を運転しないで済みます。

(Am I too annoying?...)
