Default Hit a guardrail on hwy 6

it still drives ok, but heres what happened: hit the gas a lil and hit a patch of water spun the the right facing the other side of the road almost, then corrected back the other way, then back and forth a few times, the whole time i am sliding towards and thru the opposite lanes of traffic on the other side of the road and i almost made it to a stop but ending up sliding into the guard rail about 15 mph or so. could of been alot worse, glad no one was in the oncoming lanes of traffic

Sorry man. I did that when I first got my car, only I hit a patch of black ice as I was merging on to the autobahn. Talk about scary!

If your talkin about the part of 6 that i think you are, it is slippery no matter how wet. If there is any rain at all on there i hydroplane at anyhting over 60. Ive seen a shitload of people almost loose it on that road.
A friend of mine lost it on that road and hit oncoming traffic, bad scene.

Glad you didnt get hurt. You guys think its hard to control your cars try a truck that has NO weight over the rear end compared to your cars

I did a 270 turning left onto welborn from george bush in CS in the TA when it was raining. I wound up facing the wrong way, but parked perfectly next to the middle lane people turning left off of GB. Good times.

The rain sucks, all my accidents have been in it.

I spun 3 times in a curve on hollowman right before texas. Kept it in 2 lanes luckily and stopped it as it was backing into the curb.
