I am very serious about driving safely, but I also corner hard and like to have fun.
Same! Although I've become more selective about when/where I will corner hard compared to when I was younger and stupider.

so far, only one "crash", I backed into a large metal door for a dumpster enclosure.
Doh! I'm surprised that buffed out by how loud/hard it sounded in the video.

Also: we taught drivers to back into parking spaces (unless you can drive through). It's generally safer to back in/drive out than drive in/back out. It's a habit of mine to this day.
