Default Hydroplaning and a street sign do not mix..





Sorry for the terrible picture...we snapped a picture as we left hoping the girl wouldn't see us. We were riding home as it had just rained and saw this happen right in front of us.

Damage to the mustang was a cracked front bumper and dented door and the whole mirror just hanging from the car. It also wouldn't start...

Isn't water involved in hydroplaning?I see a couple clouds and an otherwise clear sky and looks pretty dry to me.
Gotta be a terrible feeling nonetheless and doesn't help when people stop gawk stare and point.

Hydroplaning can technically happen to anybody, yes, but the vast majority of the time it happens to people who are driving too fast, not paying attention to the road, or not maintaining their tires correctly. It's not like a meteor coming out of the sky.

Not saying people who don't replace their tires at 8/32" deserve this - far from it - but when you know your tires are a little down on tread, you have to pay closer attention.

The suffix 'hydro' typically refers to water lol j/m but seriously. Tanner, you are definantly the exception as are all of the lovely ladies on this board. This girl obviously isn't a member of MF
