I drove my friends AP1 with worn Toyo All Seasons and it was pretty dangerous. He can break traction at 2000 rpm in 2nd! Moral of the story, get good tires!

No, but people will always blame the car before they blame themselves.

taking a long easy onramp curve at around 60-ish... shifted gear 2->3 (it felt like the car was planted, at the time) and immediately went sideways. like, 90 degrees to the road. went off into the grass and hit a bush.
Shifting was your problem. You took all the weight off the rear tires and around she went.

Half of the people who kick this car out do not understand weight transfer and proper cornering etiquette.

Spun mine right after getting it lol. Not used to RWD at first. Had a few beer as well and was trying to step it out. NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!!!!
Stepped it out a little bit too much and tried to correct but over corrected and went sideways across a 4 lane road. Was very late at night so no one on the other side of the road luckily. Since then only a little stepping out when I want it to otherwise none!
