Like your navi mount. What is it?
I just think your driving technique primarily the steering is appropriate for a lincoln or a taxi but just odd in a sports car...
2 hands on the wheel and kept at the same location (ie: 10 and 2 or 9 and 3)

leaves or lift throttle?
nice save!

poor steering technique but nice video
In a long boring video like this you'd expect OP to at least point us exactly when the "save" happened.
Looks like fun. You ever tried it at night? I did it a couple years back in my GTi
This road was a new one that I found last week, so I haven't done it at night. I'm actually more comfortable at night than I am in the day. Night in the fog and rain at the Dragon is my favorite. Call me weird.
On another note, a few s2k friends and I are making a run up to Blood Mtn in N.GA this Sunda the 5th. PM me if you're interested and would like to go.

See comment above. I believe this technique is taught because it gives you a lot more room to catch the car should it come loose. On an autocross course, once you x-up your arms, you can't turn anymore. Why would you want that?

Eh, I doubt that guy wished. He feels it might happen based on OP's driving.
The OP claims leaves, but I didn't see any in the video when he spun out.

I feel like if you keep crossing the double yellow around blind curves, leaves are the least of your worries.
JMO.

Stay in your lane on dry roads next time.
