Been there done that, spun out in my Box and my Z3. It was either raining or snow those times. It was raining there too, so I say, give him a break, weve all gotten a lead foot sometimes when we know we shouldnt.
Yeah, I lost the back end of a Mustang on a couple of occasions in bad weather. That guy didn't appear to be doing anything too stupid - of course I didn't have my volume on to hear RPMs, but it looked like he was just staying with traffic...
