I just thought of something, if you went past 90 degrees, it would be a good idea to punch the gas cuz then itll make you spin and do a donut till you are the right way. W/e. Sux that you had to go through this and good luck on everything.

Sorry to hear that man. One thing I've learned is BREAK STRAIGHT and have your foot a little on the throttle going into the turn.
The Queensboro bridge is one of my favorites, particularly due to the bends on the Queens end.

That sucks man!
At least damage isn't too much.
I heard there's something like free repair through insurance without prime rate change if accident was caused by hydroplane in wet condition. I might be wrong, but a cop told me this before.

Sorry to hear what happened... hopefully it isn't too too bad but you're ok and there was no one else involved, so it's just a fix on your end. Good thing we have VSA though, just make sure you always turn it back on cause it's saved my a$$ a few times already too when I was learning RWD. Now, after a few Auto-X's and some fun driving in the twisties while safe, I've gotten used to the car.
But for me, as long as I'm in public, the VSA never comes off.

dump the clutch... Rear wheels will gain traction as they freewheel and be smooth recovering.
Best thing is it happened when you were going slow and you didnt get hurt

I used to think the same way until I actually did both... and stomping the gas works... lol.
