Default Wrecked car in rain!!

Was driving home from work today and it started to downpoor. This is only like the 2nd time this car has seen rain in 5 months. I was doing about 35 mph going straight with traction control on. The rear started to swang to the right and I tried to save it and it swang left very hard and I nailed the curb and went up onto the median. I also nailed my head on the window. Hurts like ****. Now just gotta take it to body shop to let me know what all underneath is messed up.

I used to hate when it rained when I was always sportin Nittos. The Conti-tracs stick to the wet road like velcro. Sorry to hear about your loss, hope all turns out well.

How the hell did your head hit the window? Were you wearing your seatbelt? That couldn't have felt too great.

Sorry dude but...look at the baldness. You've been having fun haven't you?

Somebody get this guy some tires quick before the insurance company sees it.

I have 2 16's on the snowflake rims if you need to borrow them. I had 4 but my son is using 2 on his 83 camaro since we put a 2000 rear under it. my home number is 281-470-8535. Your welcome to borrow them if needed. The tires only have about 7,000 miles on them.

Well, that sucks major *** dude. What were you doing running on Bald Nittos anyway?

I hope insurance covers it, because unfortunetly F-Bodys are not cheap to fix.

even if someone has tires how you gonna swap them? I would think changing a tire on that messed up of a rim could be very tough.
