Lift throttle oversteer. Spin out, crash into a ditch, roll over twice = totaled S before the first payment. That was pretty dumb.

Driving on bald tires make it scary. I drove her up on a curb cause I lost control.

Redlined it on S02's when the ground was wet after it rained. The moment I threw it into second the car went completely sideways. Ended up doing a 360 when I overcorrected, but luckily I didn't hit anything. Man, I learned my lesson that day... Rain + VTEC in this car is a big no no.

Coming home at 1:30 am, took a 90 degree corner too fast and grossly oversteered, overcorrected back and forth several times and finally saved it. Cop saw me down the street and I got busted for a reckless operation.

Not sure I can narrow it down to just one.

However, I mis-judged a corner at night and went in too deep. It was the one and only time I have ever paniced behind the wheel of any car and I cut the wheel while under heavy breaking. I ended up spinning about 270 degrees to windup perpendicular to the direction of travel with the front wheels on the wrong side of the double yellow, and the rear wheels still on my side of the double yellow.

Had there been any traffic in either direction it would have been gruesome for all. I won't be doing THAT again.
