Ran her off the road today!

Exactly, I pushed her out and didn't expect that I couldn't bring her around. It's not like the days of my front engine rear drive Camaro where fish tailing was fun and easy to handle.

Yep glad nobody was hurt - It was a really stupid thing. lesson learned.

D'oh!

Glad to hear everyone/everything is okay! In the future you should consider autocrossing to get past the urge to take high speed corners on public roads (even more so it will teach you the limits of your car in a controlled manner instead of some random intersection). We're headed to one a week from today so PM if interested...

Track day track day track day.

A free life experience! Enjoy it and learn from it. I have ran two autocrosses and have a third at the end of this month. They are a lot of fun and let you explore the limits of you car.

The first time I rode in a Boxster was my cousin's, he completely looped it going around a 90 degree corner (cold tires, cold weather) and we spun a 360 in the grass and ended up coming back out onto the street pointed perfectly where we were going. These cars seem to rotate on a center axis much more so than front engine / rear drive layout cars, being mid-engined I guess they ought to. Glad to hear everything turned out fine for you guys and the car. Only one thing stinks more than getting chastised by the wifey, and that's when you know she's right.

Steve, i'm glad it ended well. I can only imagine how you felt afterwards having your son in the car.
