Full marks for your honesty.
Glad you weren't hurt!!

I'm 59 years old and grew up with powerful RWD cars in the 70's and 80's - Datsun 160Z (1 of only 200 built), Ford V6 LDV, Jaguar XJ 4.2, 733i BMW, 740i BMW, etc. Us old wrinklies learnt to drive on RWD cars, and learnt how to respect them (or pay the price). They were very different to the modern generation of understeering FWD hot hatches which are very forgiving and often allow mistakes to go unpunished.

I can understand how difficult it is for today's youngsters being thrown into the RWD deep end with a car like the FRS/86/BRZ. The car needs a RWD instruction manual. But, that's a cr@p plan because nobody would bother to read it anyway - LOL. Maybe it should come with a complimentary skidpan instruction session.
