i learnt the hard way as well
it was wet and yes i was driving like a dickhead ill admit to that
got sideways lost it and hit a 4WD destroyed the drivers side quater on my car didnt do any damage the the 4WD cause i hit the corner of his bullbar.
1 year and over 10K later the car is finally comming back together but on the other hand if i didnt smash it i wouldnt have gone ahead with my original plans for the car so it taught me a lesson and it gave me a reason to start the project.
