So it finally rained in Houston after forever today and so I figured I'd have some fun in the rain with no traction control on....

Yeah not as fun as I thought Well it's fun but hydroplaning is not fun

 

wet public roads = Not fun

wet empty parking lot = a good learning platform

or as the this site would want you to do...shell out a couple hundred for driving classes...

 

Haha it would've been cooler to brag about me messing up somehow or me underestimating the power of the car but instead I hydroplaned after I had my fun and was driving back home

Other then a bruised ego and blown front tire I'm lucky nothing too too serious happened...I don't know how much TC would've helped with the hydroplaning but I forgot to switch it back on which was irresponsible on my end.

 

yea I hear you man glad you ok....

 

You really should look into GGP - Gulf Greyhound Parkway..

Thanks man. As promised pictures from the incident...upon further review it looks worse then I thought Or atleast I think it does

I was probably driving I wanna around 45-50mph and I swear there was what seemed to be a little puddle on the side of the road and I figured I'd drive right over it but I hydroplaned and jumped the curb to a point where the whole car was almost on top of the grass

It's 5:30 AM at the moment and I just can't sleep til I get my baby fixed

 

Sounds awesome but I'm not much of a drifter and honestly don't have the money for new tires

 

I love driving with no TC in the rain. Of course I'm two tons and can hang the tail out without much drama.

 

go to used mom and pop tire shops..........buy tires at 20 bucks a pop....

Looks like I'm going to have to have a talk with your parents...
The Z can be repaired, be happy nothing happened to you.

 

Not funny lol they are already on my tail about getting rid of it lol.

Yeah thank god.

 

You say this likes its a bad thing? Every platform owner is quick to drop $300 for a CAI, $1k+ for that exhaust or, $2k-$3k for wheels & tires, but can't come up with $150-$300 for a weekend of High Performance Driving & Education on a closed course.
