The crrazy thing is I was goin 35-40. Car just felt like it was on ice said **** you Im goin this way!

Whats even more of a foul is I just changed the oil, washed and filled it up and this happened 5 min later...

So you think its more than 20k worth of damage?

Doesn't look like oversteer to me. It looks like you understeered and hit something head on with the FL corner while the wheel was turned.

Was there only damage to the front left?

did you run over oil or cooling fluid? My car is all over the road when I pull out of car wash because of all the soap on the tires.

I tapped the brakes while on the limit in a long hair pin and experienced a bit of lift off oversteer, surprisingly, the stability control caught it.

It was a 90 degree turn and dropped down into 2nd while goin into it and then got back on the gas and car just felt like it wasnt connected to the road anymore.

They put that wheel shine stuff on the tires. Thinking sidewalls flexed and caught some of the ground which didnt help with traction
