Unhappy Crashed my S2k

Well i was going home from work got onto the ramp to get on the Queens boro bridge and while i was on the ramp and turning i stepped on it too much and the rear came out....

I counter-steered but it was too wet I hit the wall and messed up the driver side fender, the plastic thing under the fender, headlight, some metal parts under the headlight, bumper.

I know its all my fault....
ahhh only a few weeks old...

Darn rain! I've found the stock tires aren't great in the wet. The few times I've driven them in the wet, I've had the back end step out at times I really wouldn't expect it to.

Damn sorry to hear about this, but glad you are okay... since this is your first RWD, might be a good idea to attend your next local autocross event to learn about how your car handles.
