did you have to pay for the damage?
go through you insurance?
how does it work when you write off a car on a test drive? I've always wondered this as I do like to take spirited test drives myself.

I have been looking into purchasing an s2000 and I must say you guys are freaking me out. I have never driven a RWD but i understand that is is more demanding of the driver. I am not a crazy driver but these stories of the cars rear throwing out is giving me the chills.

LOL, why does your signature indicate that you are already an S2000 owner?

... i shifted from 1st to 2nd between 3-4k rpm...
Hmmm, 1st to 2nd at 4k is like 20 mph in an AP2... I think you were driving a bit more enthusiastically than that. Heavy foot, cold tires, another S2000 spin out.

i was only doing 20mph which in my pov seems extremely impossible to loose the back end, this isnt the first time i drove a s2k, i had no intentions of going fast that night, im 99% sure it was because it was cold very.
