Not that I think this point needs any more emphasizing to the guys on here, but I learned this lesson the hard way.
I knew had learned from reading and general common sense that one should NEVER break in a fast turn.
I
knew I wasn't supposed to brake in that 65 mph turn, but I panicked, and I did.
End result was that I ended up with a body restyling free of charge, courtesy of Mother Nature and physics. It gave my car that neat "guard rail" enhanced look. Classic.
It was actually an easy lesson to learn, but just would've preferred to learn it a different way.
Oh well, at least I got it out of my system before I got my Elise!
Good write-up, thanks!
