Bummer about the crash!
About 8 or 9 years ago I was going to a service call for work in my AE92 Corolla GT-S. It was raining and I was by Toronto airport. I was under the gun, and happend to be thinking 'how would I bring it back if I lost it on wet pavement?' Just then I approached a 4-way intersection and had to turn right. The pavement was greasy wet and the car understeered. I instantly cranked the wheel right while yanking the emergency brake. I also powered the front wheels through the turn. I made my turn in pretty spectacular fashion, back end hung way out, sideways, in my lane, with an 18-wheeler in the next lane and cars all around. Who says that AE92s can't drift? I felt like I was in a rally at that point. All that I can say is I was bloody lucky I didn't tag somebody. It would have shaved years of the car's life, and numerous embarrassing questions would follow.
