Allright... here's what happened.
Was downtown one night and on my way back to a friends house. It started to rain lightly and while traveling east on Wells Branch, I spun out into a barbed wire fence that lines Wells Branch.
It did about $17000 worth of damage.
Barbed wire fences are MEAN. Do not ever hit one.

Damn, any pictures? are you an auto? what tires? stock diff?
I almost wiped out on 35 between hillsboro and dallas. The section of 35 had concrete walls right after next to the lines on each side of the 2 lane NB hwy. I was in the left lane doing 60mph, the back slipped to the left car crossed over to the right lane. I was correcting it and it caught and the rear shot to the right, headed towards the left barrier, I thought it was over. Man, i was shitting and saying o well, my car is done but i was still turning the wheel lightly to the right and it caught then went straight narrowly hitting the wall by about 1" or so.
I have KDW 265/35/18s up front, 295/35/18s in the rear. I thought these tires sucked because my rear end always slipped in the rain. Then a couple weeks later i broke my diff and had the TRD Diff installed. While i was driving one day it started to rain. Remembering how i almost lost it i started cursing. Then i noticed that not once did my back end slide, to test my theory, I even gunned it in the middle of a turn in the pouring rain to get the rears to slip and it never once did it. The KDWs are fucking awesome with a real diff in the rear end. None of that torsen shit.
You should upgrade so you dont lose it next time if you're still on stock diff.
