(wet roads to much torque and playing around) i went around a turn actually slow person in front of me taking a turn. at the apex of the curve i hit the gas and out the rear went tryed olding it and the truck did a 180 into a field and into a wall. (the wall happen to belong to a church (so glad i didnt hurt that wall) the truck managed to loss one rear bumper one tail light and trim plus the trim under the light for the silverado package. theres a dent and im debating on to fix or replace the whole side. Ill get pictures up soon so you guys can see how bigger of a dummy i am. I spoke to the church and this weekend im going to fill in my ruts and fix what i messed up (all grass and dirt but still i did it i need to fix it)

make fun of me if u wish i already learned my lession

If you learned your lesson then where is the fun, to making fun? Everyone does stupid stuff. The important part is learning, so you don't go out and do it all over again. As I see it you are lucky. The only thing hurt was a little grass, and body tin.

I did about the same thing coming off of an off ramp. I hit the gas a little too hard and did a 180 and wound up matching the right rear of my truck up with a guard rail. I dented up the bedside a little bit, but creased the bumper pretty good. It seems like trucks like to swing the rear around with a little throttle and rain, **** happens though.
