Had a buddy of mine help me get my mustang home one night. He took the stang and I followed in my pickup. He pedal'd it through 1st and 2nd but then thought he could give full pedal going into 3rd. Started fish-tailing, lost it, locked'm up and pointed her headlights at me.

Now I bust his nuts about how my car is too much car for him...he's got a 94' converted into a 750 Demon carb with a 12lb 174 series on top. He loves it when I do that.

Wow man you got lucky, i saw a volvo turn himself completely sideways when he had to slam on the brakes and ran himself into a ditch full of water. Very scary to see and i cant imagine it happining to me. I live in delaware right near the ocean by the way so we also got him by the rain very bad, plus being near the water made it 100 times worse with all this damn flooding cause where at sea level.

I did that on a highway on-ramp...Goosed it in second gear when the road was wet and next thing you know I'm facing down the ramp. Scary **** indeed.

I just realized...I got my car like nine months ago, and it still hasn't rained yet. That's Southern Cali for ya.

I'm honestly more worried about any damage it did to my car. I know to be more careful in the rain.

Should I be safe just taking the wheel off and inspecting everything or should I take it to the ford dealer and have the anally rape me to look at it?

I wouldn't worry about it to much. I would pop the wheel off and check the tire for bubbles in the sidewall. Look for any flat spots in the rim. Then just do a quick shake down of the tie rods on which ever side you hit. Also check and make sure the tie rod isn't bent.
