first time i ever got on it in first with three people in the car and barked second gear. we were all pretty scared.

also the most scared was last year. it snowed about 5 inches and i was coming home from helping a friend work on his car. got in behind a salt truck and he stopped to really spray a bridge so i went around him and kicked it. ran up the road fishtailing having fun, and then started to slow down to turn in my road and the brakes locked and started sliding. i was only going about 15 mph but i was sliding for a 20ft drop off into a creek with no guardrail. i forced myself to let off the break and turn the wheel and give it gas. the awd pulled it in the direction i was steering and barely avoiding going off the embankment sideways which def would have rolled and totaled the car. my *** was so tight if you had a hammer you wouldnt have been able to drive a nail in it.

Spun the car on black ice when it was about a year old. It was early and on my way to church, took a corner too fast, an SUV was coming from the other direction and the car felt like someone else was steering the rear end (the ice). Pointed the car away from the incomign SUV and gassed it, the back came around and I saw the curb coming....clutch in, hand brake up. Ended up facing the other way but no damage.

Driving a 670 whp evo 8 in the streets, easy and nice ,
and suddenly a unmarked copcar pulls ut behind and flasing his lights at me ,

Making almost fullthrottle in the middle of the night , thrue town and trying to shake him of was the most scarry thing ever ,

Did a 720 coming off the highway once. It was cold, rainy and I still had my summer tires on so it did not take very much to break the tires loose. Luckily it was a big open area and there wasn't any traffic to smash into. I coasted to the side of the road, gathered myself and drove like a grandma the rest of the way home.

Some lady that was behind me called the cops on me and I had a swarm of police cruisers come flying up to my house right as I pulled into my driveway.

Here in the States they would have called in the choppers, 2 UAVs, and a B2 Bomber for good measure.
You would have been on the evening news, Cops, and "dumbest stuff on wheels".
