I'd be interested in knowing how fast OP was going..

Ok well I looked over my original post and I can see it wasn't too clear on how I crashed the car. I didn't spin it, I never have (well other than in empty parking lots in the rain). I was going through a medium corner after I had just turned right out of a parking lot, so I wasn't going fast, about 60km/h at the MOST. But when my dumbass shifted midway through that corner that little clutch kick made the rear end step out, I over corrected it and then when it was starting to catch again I hit that wooden sign with my fender.
I should clarify I didn't go over any curbs or anything, the sign was in the middle of the road, right before a grassy median. It was one of those signs that warn about an upcoming median.
Here's a curious thought. The reason that temporary sign was there was because someone had gone over the curb and taken out the permanent sign. I came to that conclusion when the paralegal and I were looking at google maps images. If that sign wasn't there I wouldn't have hit anything, I never went into oncoming traffic either, and there was no one on my side of the road.
