Weather conditions? Bald tires? Too happy on the right pedal at the wrong time?

You shouldn't be driving an automobile if you can't take corners at 20 mph in an AWD car and maintain control....

I might not be reading this correctly what are ask for: why your car spun around on you or whats wrong with your car after the accident?

If your asking why this happened than this might be the problem;
Did you happen to get into boost while turning, doesn't take much to get the car sideways

If your asking whats wrong with the car? no one will be able to tell without seeing the car and inspecting the damage.

Sounds to me like you werent taking that 15mph turn at 25mph.

We arent the cops or insurance man, you can tell us the truth.

I don't think people realize how easy it is to spin these cars out. if its wet out, and theres a little oil on the road, you start to get sideways - if your a newby driver, you lift off the gas and spin out instantly. i know because i've done it twice. first time i was showing off in an industrial park late at night... second time was into oncoming traffic.

I admit it though, my case was definitely driver error. luckily i escaped with only a curbed rim.

Take driving school, or teach yourself not to lift the throttle. its counter-intuitive, but if the tail starts coming out you _have_ to give it gas.
