Just experienced death.
I was with subtledreamer on freeway heading back home, at this junction there is a sharp turning ramp. First thought of course is to push the car through the turn. It was fun for the first half of it, but until a section of the ramp covered in water from sprinkler. My car rear tires lost traction and went sideway for a few seconds and my car spun out and stopped with front tires in dirt. Lucky there is no wall or anything.
Lesson learned:
1. Always watch out during these type of turns, especially WATER!
2. Shouldnt have gas while on the water, or while my rear tires are already
making noise.
3. Counter-steer too slow

Counter steer is a touchy thing watch out u don't counter too fast or you'll snap the rear end the other way...happened to me once and i 180'd into a wall. luckily i was only traveling like 5 mph at the time of impact thank god.
It's actually not a bad idea goin to a parking lot and swinging that rear end out a few times just to see how she handles.
