Definately go into a huge empty parking lot and go spin the crap out of the s2k
best way to know your cars limits and how to recover if you ever need to. Better you find out like that instead of spinning out again and hurting yourself/other people.

well, saying 90 degree turn isn't really telling you about the radius, I mean you know that the entrance and exit are 90 from each other... but...
anyway, yes, on the gas, unless you're not trying to recover it. Honestly I've learned the best way to learn (not really safest) how to recover is to lose control. I tend to find big areas where if i spun out I wouldn't hit anything, take the corner and let the back come out, more of a power slide than a drift but learning to control the car in situations like that makes the difference.
But I agree with other people probably coolant or something, maybe black ice if you get that there....
First time I spun my S2000 I was getting on the freeway, and the road was too cold and I lost it going around the corner...
glad you're safe

I'm glad to hear that you are OK.
Something similar happened to me 2 years ago in my 2005 (with considerable damage)...which is why I now have a 2006. The Lord was watching over me that day as well!
Best wishes!

. Yea...I've always wanted to get guardian angels tatooed on my shoulder blades. I've had so...many close calls in all my cars, I think it would be fitting. I'm a very blessed man indeed
