yes, it was luck i had no my 17's on....
yes, i`m not used to power of 13BT yet, drove 20 000 miles with 13B in it....
i pushed it more than i should have and simply lost control....

Nice job! i bet you looked like an ace!
Find a car club or start one in your area. Rent a parking lot then have fun. I do parking lot autocrosses and big tracks. we have a nice skid pad at the autocross that you can release those built up drifing desires on. I suggest you do the same.

WHAT? thats not drifting thats what you call wrecking. Drifting if properly exicuted can be great fun. Wrecking is well........... WRECKING and it always sucks. And the red sun roof is the least of your problems.

friend of mine did that...for some reason he floored it coming around a left turn in light rain, in an LS400 for crying out loud. ground was wet, back swung out, over corrected, tires grabbed, and he shot himself into the right side where a big *** trailer was parked and took out the front of his car. the trailer escaped almost unscathed..big-*** welded steel tank :P
oh yeah and i was in the passenger side front, that sure was some kind of an adrenaline rush.

Haha I didn't even make it around the corner when I ditched my 7, but I did happen to get it on video tape... friend of mine was taping the entire thing, I have it on my box but I have no where to host it... it's pretty dark too, so you can't see much, I wish I would have had some sort of filter to correct it.
When I was looking through your "Fixing" galleries I was thinking "oh my god what great toys!" What all did you get, and how much did it put you down?

Wow, from those pictures you're apparently a great driver! 
I don't have a problem with people having a little fun on public roads, but it looks like theres a fair amount of traffic in the background. If I was sitting at that intersection n my FC amd you f0cked up and hit my car, you'd bleed.
Have fun, keep it safe!
