This was a result of VDC Off + worn front tires + wet tires from going over some puddles. There was this sharp right turn that went down hill and then up. I took the turn a bit too fast and felt the rear end come loose. It began to spin, but I corrected it. Unfortunately by the time I had corrected it, I ran out of road. My drivers side tires went off the road a bit and into some mud. If the road wasn't as narrow or the turn wasn't as sharp, I would have been perfectly fine. I've learned my lesson though, no more VDC off.

I'm glad you came out ok

Thanks, I appreciate it

I would like to get some track time or find an empty parking lot to practice some VDC off driving though.

I think if you stay away from the mud you'll be ok.

Yeah, I think that just might be helpful

Just glad you didn't get hurt bro. I heard the tire squeal behind me and was already through the corner. First thought was "oh sh*t, he lost it" when I didn't see you in the rearview.

New tires and VDC = ON for you, good sir!
