I'm a little late in the game, but I wanna get some stuff out in the open. Granted, I may be a bit harsh on you neutral, but like you said yourself, people are going to hate you.
First things first, glad that no one else got hurt, and it was just isolated to your car. And at least you tried it when there's was no cars around. But honestly, what the *bleeping* *bleep* where you thinking? Especially coming from a FWD car to a RWD one. Doing a right hand turn and flooring it in your first RWD car is one thing, but with the traction control off? You are seriously lucky that your passenger didn't get injured. Imagine if he did, what are you going to say to his family? How are you going to even make things right for them? I wonder if that ever crossed your mind before you decided to do something so stupid. I mean, honestly, if you are going to do something like that, do it when there's no one else is in the car, because you are responsible for their lives once they become your passenger. Because if it's just you, and you screw up, you're only putting your life on the line (granted that there's no other cars on the road or pedestrians). I mean, have respect for the road and for others while driving. You are VERY lucky that natural selection didn't take it's course.
I mean, we all make mistakes, yes, but something like this could have been prevented if you just THOUGHT it through beforehand. Heck, I am not an accident virgin either, so I know how it feels when you get into your first one. But like what others said, practice driving your car in a track or something so you know it's limits and how you can control it when stuff like this happens. My first car was a RWD, and it didn't have traction control. It was hella scary driving in the rain I tell you. And I did have my "drifting" moment in it because of the slick conditions, not because I was trying it because I thought it would be cool. But luckly I was able to correct it before slamming into something like a telephone pole.
But yeah, trying to take the turn fast and show off to your coworker in public roads is something more like a highschool kid would do after watching Fast and Furious movies. I mean, you are 24 for goodness sake, you shouldn't have a mentality like that. But from what I read, seems like you got your sh!t together, so that's a step in the right direction. Now we just have to wait and see who else crashes their FR-S...especially since the commercial showcases a drifting FR-S, although some drivers think they can drive like the professionals in the commercial.
You're lucky that you didn't end up like this..or anything close to this:
