If so, i suspect adrenaline and the pendulum effect were your undoing. In your mind, the car had straightened back out, but with the adrenaline pumping, it had only been fractions of a second, and the car hadn't actually settled, you just felt the rear regain traction, so reapplying the gas allowed the rear to go the other way.

I'm not entirely sure. It all happened so fast, but it's very likely that I tried to accelerate again after losing traction the first time. This was my first rear wheel drive car and I'd been driving it for less than a year, so I wasn't a master at it yet.
Maybe for my next car I'll get an Evo. That way I have an excuse to hate my friend with a WRX and I'll have AWD.
