Hey GTO2050, I too learned on a RWD car before VDC! A 73 Dodge Dart Sport (240 hp 290lb/ft torque) That baby taught me how to really drive. Oh, and yes
FWD in NASCAR....well no accidents but I could just hear the team communications between drivers and their crew chiefs. "My car is plowing like a dump truck through every turn of every race" Ha, ha, ha.....

On another note, last week I was making a left turn and went over a small amount of water and gave it too much gas and spun out and ended up on the median, luckily it was a small curb that the car easily went up on.

No wheel drive?
Focus: You spun out mostly because of driving skill/style. I've found, bone stock, taking my car up and down the twisties, (Bear Mtn., Skyline Drive,......)that I've been able to control any oversteer that I've induced, VDC off. Don't blame the car for driver error, and learn how to countersteer. Either that or don't turn VDC off! VDC is more than just traction control. You don't want to spin out, learn how to handle your car or let it handle itself. I've turned VDC off in the rain before, gave her too much gas on a left and countersteered for about 1000 feet. No spin. Rant over.
.. in that game all the roads are made of ice
