My Saturday night was pure sh*t.

I got onto the east bound on-ramp from Maitland Ave at 10pm in the torrential downpour, and, driving completely normal, got up to about 40 mph when the rear tires lifted up and the car started hydroplaning to the left. I let off the gas, tried turning the wheel, but the car was headed straight for the guardrail, and there was nothing I could do.

I let go of the wheel and braced myself, and the car hit head on and bounced off the rail, hit the rear of the car on the rail, and spun several times across the road, coming to rest in the grass.

To make a long story short, the pig who arrived on the scene, wrote me a $140 ticket for careless driving

The result:

The car is going to a place soon to get the front bent back out, and then the rebuilding process begins!

Sucks your car is messed up.


I don't buy your story about the car just hydroplaning all by itself though. :grin:
