I spun a 340 on the skid pad at the performance center and ended up in a ditch. The only thing bruised was my ego.
I made a left the other day and hit a patch of grime on a wet road in the X5 and the back end came around on me, sending me towards a parked car. Didn't even think about, fixed it, and was happily on my way with a story to tell.
If things are gonna go to shit the track is usually a good place to learn and not hurt yourself. I think something like the teen driving car control course should be mandatory to get a license.
