I was going a little above the speed limit, when a guy turned in my lane at the last second. Brake locked up (no abs), went sideways hit the guard rail with my rear end. Luckily it could have been a lot worse. Just slight trunk damage and replaced with jdm bumper.

This car rotates nicely in the wet but one time getting away from a light I boosted a little too much in heavy rain and went into an old fashioned tank slapper. Very high pucker factor.

Tunnel vision at the track in the s-turns at about 70, all of a sudden everything opened up just in front of a 45* left turn at 70, all i could say was OMG and turn as sharp as I dared--car made the turn and thats when I fiured out I bought more car then I thought I did. Second time --same track different day, over a hill, turn at the top and a blind down hill sweeper. Crested the hill in the worng line, hit the turn and had to brake---rear end lightened up and then locked up briefly while I straightened out all at about 60. Guy behind me said white smoke poured off the rear tires at the top of the hill--asked what the pucker factor was-- lets just say it was high.

When driving on the express way while some ******* was tailgateing me and when I pulled over to let him by I got back over and he slammed on his brakes with no one in front of him.

When a buddy of mines 5 year old hit mommys door against the *** end of the car and dented the **** out of it

Doing a pull on the on ramp and I wasn't prepared for the torque steer.
Also I didn't think about how it had rained 3 hours prior, and I went into a turn pretty fast and ended going into a powerslide and almost t-boned a parked car, I got about probably 2-3 feet from it.

Same here. My evo's first winter. On stock tires and it began to snow. I saw traffic light goes from yellow then red. So, I step on the brake to gradually slow down and anticipating a full stop at the line (I am at speed limit of about 45 mph). I see the cars on the stop started to go . OMG, my car slides...pass thru the traffic light and stop on the other side of the light...

Ending up pointed at a wall at BIR during an event there last year had me a bit worried.
I guess I expected my car to go straight with all 4 spinning from launching a bit too hard on street tires.
