Never happen. You'll never know. If I ever did a BONE HEADED stunt like this (and yup, it would still be a BONE HEADED stunt even if I did it - let's just call it what it is and not give it a euphamism like "accident"), I wouldn't be dumb enough to post it up on the internet, WITH PICTURES! 
mikegarrison- how much did you spend on the driving classes? if its cheap enough maybe i'll take some too
(although i doubt it'll fit my college budget)

not neccessarily, accidents happen to the best of us. no need to make op feel bad.

(although i doubt it'll fit my college budget)Obviously that's using your own car for the training on a closed track, which is preferred because it's the same vehicle you'll run into problems with if you're out on the streets and get hit with an unexpected situation.

Don't know about US prices, but i find good driving courses are usually $300-450 depending on the length and expertise of the instructors and person running the course.

I'm 27 and had two cars before this, a 2004 Jetta GLI and civic HX. the GLI had better stoppers IMHO.
Here are some pics. the wheel almost came off being loaded onto the flatbed since the strut was broken and it was hanging off by a control arm.

If you are able to start understeering, your driving WAY to fast on the street. Slow down before you get someone else injured 
Understeering and crashing?
All this talk about going to a ' driving school' to drive a 240hp rwd car ??
OP crashed solely because of his own stupidness i.e. taking a curve at a high speed
Heck, take some laps in a kart just to get the basics right if you don't want to spend hundreds on a 'school'. Most of the these so called schools are cash grabs anyways.
