thanks man! the only thing that happened to the see was a few scratches on the side that I was able to buff out and a cracked rear bumper. I got a painted oem ap1 bumper local for $100. After $100 and a few hours buffing the car was as good as new! I was very lucky though. If I hit that pole it could of been very bad!

Honestly looks like you freaked out that the car was coming from the other way and you let off. Hard to tell.

No biggie, just a big reminder for people thinking of driving like this on public roads. I can respect the fact that you posted this to show others. Thanks.

Had the same type of grip loss happen to me when I let off with cold tires on track. In the beginning of this video.

no pics of damage sorry. Yea, the car spooked me, I tucked the corner tighter to stay out of the way, might of lifted (I dont remember), and the off camber messed me up. When I peaked the corner the rear natually lifted because of the hill/apex at peak of hill and I lost it. My main goal was "keep it out of that pole and ditch of the left side of the road", So I maintained that but ran out of road way to try to get it under control and spun into the bush line. If you watch the slow mo video, I came very very close to that pole and my speedo at the time still said 45-50mph.

Good question.. The previous owner put a new windshield in an then traded the car in. He failed to put it back in. So after 2 years of not having one I don't miss it nor need it for daily driving. I can see everything I need to see out of the side mirrors.

To me it looked like you changed your steering angle and lifted at the same time when you saw the oncoming car. What tires were you running?
