A few years ago I was driving my lab's V-10 Econoline and it had just rained near the Harbor and I am traditionally used to flooring the diesel but I forgot that I was driving a "Detroit pedal" truck. I made a right hand turn from a stop with a little too much into the throttle whereby the rear just flew out behind me and I started my opposite lock to control the slide and drifted the van into the curb of the Oil Lube place on the corner as there just wasn't any traction!
It was somewhat undramatic but the fear of being ridiculed for crashing the brand new van would have been overwhelming.
When we glided into the curb, the lady watching all this picking up her Volvo looked like she crapped her pants.
