Here we go...

It's really sad that happened Neutral - I hope you are okay.

FWD to RWD is always a learning lesson because inherently, FWD is more forgiving (understeer tends to freak people less than oversteer and requires less driver input to correct). When I went from Corolla to MR2, it was just the same except I always snuck out to a deserted parking lot or autocross to learn the limits.

When I went to my IS300, I had already known what snap oversteer was and was well prepared when snow season hit (the MR2 was never driven in snow) and all the associated fishtail movements that can come with stupidity in the snow.

Hopefully others will learn from this.
