So yeah, like you said, learn the car in a safe environment. All the books in the world can't replace time behind the wheel.
We all feel your pain.
Your experience reminds us none of us wants to have our butts handed to us like this. Perhaps we're all a wee bit wiser than we were before cause you shared your mishap with us. Live and learn. Hang in there! Be thankful no one was hurt. Thanks for sharing.
