Yep I should have caught it and I have done the same thing on that corner before. This time though I turned in just a fraction too early and my entry speed being about 2mph faster than normal caused a little more wheel spin than I anticipated. I tried to stay consistent with the throttle so I could power out of the turn, but it sounded like I let off just a hair which just magnified the back coming out. Well all of that and thinking about all of the other cars I've seen hit that wall I may have just quit on the turn. I remember thinking to myself whatever you do DON'T HIT THE WALL!

The funny thing is I went home and treated her to a bath, cleaned the inside out so my wife wouldn't get freaked out, and went about my business. Two days later my wife and I went to dinner and I turned on the defroster and out shot grass from every vent. Busted! She was like what the hell was that?
