:/ Sad day. I've totaled two cars prior to getting my S so I know the feeling. Totaled two cars in one month actually.

 

Wow, sorry man! I feel your pain on that accident. Hopefully she can be saved like mine was. Glad no one got hurt!!!!

 

Sorry to hear! Definitely gotta take if easy on the throttle in the rain.

 

"In a spin both feet in"

A practiced response that's learned at High Performance Driver Education in a controlled environment.

You get 1 , maybe 2 corrections to save the situation, if you don't have it by then it's time to push in the clutch and brakes fully. this locks the wheels and disengages the drive train. Result is that the trajectory of the car continues on it's original path.( added benefit is that the car is still running when you come to a stop)

Steady throttle during your corrections is optimum, then if the car is pointed where you want it apply throttle( gently)

You did a 540, but after the first 90 it was lost.

It's easy to critique after the fact from my recliner, but I think learning how to spin is a a benefit of instructed track time.

 

Not to mention the bridge you spun out on was a concrete road, with paved cut outs. Very dangerous, since those type of roads are mostly used to deal with the bridge's flexibly. I'm glad everyone is okay, and I hope your S is back soon.

 

Had a butt clenching incident a few nights ago while crossing a slick joint in a bridge that's strategically placed at the apex (wtf).

Sorry to hear about your car - glad you're okay!
