I thought not that bad until I seen the rear. Sucks but you need to address the tire problem.
I had a second gen in highschool with McCreary's tires, they were full tread with the rubber compound of a slick. I hydroplaned that right in front of an oncoming school bus once. And that was the first of about five times. The last time I almost missed a minivan but didn't. I guess my point is now when I drive in the rain I think of those days and slow down.

Cant see the pics but the exact same thing happened to me over the summer. I had new 315 nitto DRs. The rear slid out and I couldnt get out of it. I hit the barrier and did a 360 and amazingly nobody else hit me.

Anyway, glad you are ok, and I know how bad it sucks.

My insurance totaled the car and I ended up parting it out (see sig lol)
