Wow you came out pretty good on that one. it could have been much worse. I had a similar situation. It was a long time ago. I don't know what I was thinking. Long story short....... I over corrected when trying to switch the side of the drift and spun into someone's front yard. Nothing major happened to the car I had at the time, just a little scraped up underneath. Scared me enough to where I won't try it on the street again.
And I don't recommend anyone trying it without having tons of open space.
