Oooops!
I spun my car out yesterday. I was at a stop sign and looking to make a left turn. Had a buddy behind me in his car so of course I decided to turn it up a notch. Peeled out a bit and then lost control of the car at the apex of the turn. The car literally did a bit of a fishtail spin and bounced around a bit, but fortunately, did not spin out completely. It did happen to scare the sh*t out of me
 I know we don't have any computerized stability control or any other dummy assists, but was also surprised that the car spun the way it did. Might be that I need to re-up my driving lessons or perhaps drive a bit less aggressively

Don't forget that you have "High Performance Summer" tires. They become very hard and lose grip in near freezing temperatures. A little sand or dust on the road will to it to you.
Hope you didn't hit anything (except your pride).

Good point...was definitely on the cool side in NJ yesterday and there was this very small patch of wetness on the road just where the turn started.
My pride was deeply injured, but thankfully not my baby

I like the "that's not F'n good" comment
But that actually came pretty close to what my car did...can't say I did what this dope did in terms of burning rubber at the start and in my case, very fortunate in that I had on coming traffic in the opposing lane, so could have gotten ugly. Quote:

Well fortunately there is no permanent physical damage (to you and the car), maybe a little temporary mental damage
