I wrecked my car tonight aproximately 11:30 in Vallejo on 80-E. I just got on to the freeway. I barely exceeded 60 mph, and I was at 4k rpm. Next thing I know it, I'm fishtailing, I try to gain control, I get on the brakes, then I'm on my driver side on the side of the freeway, facing the opposite direction of the traffic. While my car is against the fence.

I made it out fine. I got a little cut on my finger from the windshield. My airbags did not deploy.

Well, I'll be in another Mustang soon hopefully.

Edit: I appreciated everyones kind words and overall support. I'll be back in a Mustang eventually.

Glad you are ok. Car can be replaced. I was drving from Napa to Sac tonight in my Expedition and was hydro-planing all over the road only going 50mph. There was a stretch by David there was 4 accidents in less than a quarter of a mile!!

Fukk that sucks, sorry to hear about that. If any of you guys are coming through San Mateo BE CAREFUL ON HWY 92, it's especially dangerous when it rains. My house over looks a stretch of it and I constantly hear sirens.

happens a couple of times every year and then the person who wrecks always warns everybody to slow down

What I dont get Raj, is why the FACK were you around 4k rpms in the rain, i try not to go over 2500 rpms in any wet conditions, and that was even before I wrecked my other cobra, i dont give a shite man, ill get on the highway going 40mph and cruise at 50-55mph in 6th gear at 1500 rpms.

Hopefully you only get 1 point on your record and your rates wont go up, but if you go to the doctor through your insurance company it will cost you 2 points and your rates will nearly double!!!

Glad you are OK though young grasshopper!

Raj, I'm sorry to hear about you misfortune . I'll just reiterate everyone else and say "Im glad you're ok" . Cars can be replaced. I was drivin' the Cobra last night at around the same time and it was rainin' SOOOOO FN hard. I barely was over 35-40 or so on the freeway...and STILL hydroplaning all over the place . I'm sure that you'll be back in the game in no time. Take care in the meantime

I call BS on the second part. You dad will never buy you a 03-04 cobra or the gt500. But good luck on finding another one. This time get a stick!!!!

Welcome to the crew I wrecked my Mountaineer in Oakland almost the same way! The big thing is that you are ok! As much as it hurts you can always buy a new car! Take the plate and create a R.I.P. wall my has my 72 cougar, and the 01 Mountaineer!

sounds like you need a cadillac i drive 90mph through storms, everytime i start to hydroplane the message center says "stability control initiated"

Posted by andyman_2k01 (Member # 1448) on :
 
sorry to hear about your car. I just have 1 question though, where was your traction control? did you turn it off? cause i don't think that would have happened if it was on. just curious

I'm sure you'll keep us updates with your daily snow report

sucks you wrecked the car man. It was a terrible ride home this morning. I drove 45 mph on the freeway as I kept hitting pockets of water and hydroplanning.

Posted by 2stangs69-91 (Member # 1951) on :
 
I didn't warn him because I have not wrecked in the rain yet. As soon as I do I will be right here....

Posted by bookoo (Member # 6304) on :

You and i both know what its like to lose control of your car without being able to maintain your hold. I know how bad you feel...TRUST ME. It really sucks but like everyone told me, cars can be replaced. Not something i like to hear but in the end, you arent crippled and a cut on your finger is nothing. You were very lucky. The weather is crazy right now so i will reiterate by saying, "BE CAFEFUL" out there.

Thanks Lauren. ^-^ I definitely took my GT for granted though. That's the one thing I hated the most. Oh well!
