On the way home I found myself seriously exceeding the limit before I noticed anything was askew. Later on a turn I take every day of my life, I went into a four wheel slide, recovered and began to think something was wrong with the car when I realized and told myself "Slow the "F" down you S.O.B.". And I did. I hope I calm down by tomorrow when I drive to work.
That sounds like a blast. Many years ago, I took the two day Bondurant class when his school was still at Sears Point. I drove one of my z's (my first 71) the two days and drove home each night (I was living in Walnut Creek).

I distinctly remember being exhausted each day and driving like a maniac on my rides home each night.
