I was on 93 yesterday and you're right, the roads were soaked through. If you haven't already, think about picking a used G35x with low miles if you can find one. Sorry to hear about the accident but glad you're okay

"Damn are those flames under the car? What is that"

That's the reflection of the red car in the background on the water under the Z.

Sure looks like a total wreck to me.

How much did you pay to get it rimmed up?

I don't understand all these spinouts when it is wet out..... snow/ice I understand but rain? Even in snow you have to be doing something stupid or driving fast to spinout.

Drive slower and make sure you're not rolling on bald tires.

Someone also mentioned doing a 180 while coming out of a parking garage in the wet.... only thing that could have caused this is being a little too right pedal happy.

Drive more carefully as I'm sick of paying high insurance premiums on this stupid car.

Difficult to tell, but looks like little tread left on the front tire.
