Our cars are very light in the rear and subject to fishtail on wet roads. Everyone, please be very careful in the rain.
Not JUST wet roads
earlier this week I was turning offa road on to a 5lane(4+ turning lane) as I've done many times and it was clear enough for me to get to the turning lane and then wait till the lane I wanted was clear
the road was dry but dusty (there is a dirt parking lot near by)
so any way I spun through 3 lanes and arter I got straight I had to keep on the gas or be rear ended
I'veturned out of that road many times but never had this problem (scared the **** out a me but turned out fine)

Sorry to hear about this Partner, glad you weren't hurt. It takes a Real Man to admit fault, and I applaud you for that. As far as that Quarter Panel......I'd have it replaced, JMO. BeSafe.

Glad your OK and the damage is affordable! Summer tires loose traction fast at lower temps, if you going to drive in the cold, get Snows or at least All Season Radials. I had a car on summer tires and was driving though stop and go traffic and it started to lightly flurry. Every time I put on the brakes (every 10-15 feet) the cars started to slide down the crown in the road and this was with no accumulation. Rain and in the 30's is only going to be marginally better. BTW when you spin both feet in, brakes and clutch.Good luck with the car, and thanks for the reminderI'm off to get my snows put on!

You're def lucky that you're ok and thats all the damage your stang took... I had an at fault once in my first 05 at about 20 mph... mine was totalled after it spun and hit a tree... here are a few pics of it... I turned around and bought a new one 6 days later...

Hard to imagine that much damage at only 20mph. Is that your estimate to the cops or do you really believe that?
