How embarassing
I was coming back from a short errand earlier and ended up in front of a 90's 300zx at a light. We were both turning left and it had sprinkled just a bit, just enough to get the road damp, really. When the light turned green I pulled out and mid corner I blipped the throttle a bit to induce a bit of oversteer fun. I feathered the throttle to slide a bit. I was going 10-15 mph max, no other cars behind except the Z who had sat at the light after green so he was no where near me. I had straightened out and was coming out from under the other side of the overpass. I looked into my rearview just in time to see him loop the car the same place I had gotten sideways. I'm fairly sure that the only thing that got bruised was his ego fortunately, but he was surrounded by cars when he did his 270 and ended up pointing the wrong way. It was a little funny, but I felt sorry for him at the same time and thankful that no one had been hit. Thank goodness it didn't happen to me.
Just another example of why it's not a good idea to play in traffic. I'm a bad boy.
