A very similar thing happened to me about 30 years ago. I had a 914 and the motor was running very rough. It was autumn and there were leaves on the road and it was wet. Whenever I was not accelerating, I had to push the clutch in and rev the engine to keep it from stalling. I was doing all of 10 mph and went around a corner with the clutch in. The car did a 540 and ended up in a ditch. Luckily I was going slow and with the help of a tow from a farmer, I was able to get out unscathed.
Moral of the story is - a mid engine car turns so well because of low polar moment of inertia. It also spins very easily.
PSM is your friend. After seeing what it can do in the rain at the autocross, I would not think of driving on the street without it. Its especially good when you aren't paying attention to your driving or are taken by surprise.
Hope things work out. Glad you are ok and hope you get another Boxster.
