Default My First Spinout

Well, it finally happened. I am new to the Vette and rear wheel drive sports car world. I just got an 04 C5 just over a month ago. Anyway, on the way home from a concert tonight, I decided to gun it on an on-ramp while switching lanes...big mistake!! The car quickly loses its rear end and I lifted off the gas which spun me back into some rocks on the side of the on-ramp. Some how I managed to get myself straight and my buddy just told me to go. The cars behind me were not too happy.

Luckily, no structural damage that we can see buy my drivers side rock panel has seen better days. Its pretty nicked up. So, I thought I would share my fun story.

Anyone else have fun interesting spinout stories. Lets hear em!!
