Damn so many morons in this thread. Maybe if you have **** *** tires the road would be slick with rain, even then it wouldnt be slick enough to take a gradual turn on a highway at 40MPH. See turns on highways are banked so the rain WILL run off and also so you can take them at highway speeds. Just STFU!! You guys make me . What a joke. Learn how to drive dipshits!! This kid was obviously ******* around and totaled his ****.

Why dont you go buy a evo?? There is no way that a turn on a highway couldnt be taken at 40MPH on rain. And learn how to ******* word a sentence and spell. Also see above about how highways and rain work!

 

See, your making many assumptions that are untrue. He stated that he was about to pass by a school zone. I don't know how it is where you live but schools normally aren't DIRECTLY on highways. Meaning that if the speed limit was 35/45 (giving cmanns the benefit of the doubt here), it was just on some country/city road. Either type, theirs going to be PLENTY of standing water. It's very possible that he spun out. Not everyone is rocking wider aftermarket tires. I have the same size as stock on my car, 205's and when I drive right after or during it raining, the car HAS been known to kick out on me a little bit coming around some decent speed sweepers.

OP could have slowed down more for the corner but how was he suppose to know the car was going to spin? Say you were driving and it had just got done raining. I can almost 100% guarantee your going to try to kick it around a corner because its wet at least once. My grampa is almost 90 and sometimes when the grounds wet, even he'll give his buick a little extra gas to spin the tires a bit. EVERYONE does it.


cmanns, sorry for your loss but you live, you learn. Some mistakes are more costly than others. Sorry for your loss, it was a clean S5.

 

way to pick on the disleksic(sp?) guy about getting his words and letters backwards. highways have a 45MPH sleedlimit?(then again HWY 78 does stay in that area but then again it is a 4 lane carageway that goes through the heart of Ladson. ohwell) some highways actually have little drainagecuts into the road perpendicular to the roads direction itself whereas most normal roads dont. strange feeling i think the road he was on didn't.


PS: i cant wait till karma bites your *** and you post about wrecking on here and get no sempethy(sp?)

 

sempethy(sp?)

In the time it takes to type (sp?) you could try google... you might learn something and remember the correct way next time you try to use your words. Would you like some haterade?

 

ahhhhhhhhhhh yummy haterade LOL
GATORADE.... H2O!!!! GATORADE... H2O!!

 

youre a moron for thinking all highways are banked........
And you are also a moron if you think the very best tire will prevent an incident on the road where there are slippery substances on the road 5 mins into a rain storm. The very best tire will not prevent it moron
you and PvillKnight7 are drinking the same ****. Tough internet guys.

 

It's not the tires on your car...its how you drive your car. Anybody can drive in the rain but it takes a good defensive driver to prevent accidents. Damn this haterade is good.

 

Haha no where did i say that good tires will prevent accidents. It takes good drivers to prevent accidents. I was trying to point out that good tires will prevent hydroplaning dipshit. Of course im probly wrong there to right?? And you and half the people in this thread are ****** idiots if you think that RAIN makes a road slick to the point of losing control. You can do the speed limit anywhere in the rain with no problems whatsoever if you know how to drive kido!! Also i prefer to "drift" in the rain, less wear and tear, and ive yet to lose control or wreck my ****, and its got a hell of alot more power than this kids ******* car. Im the idiot??? Learn to drive along with the rest of these idiots that think that ****!!! Im done in here, to many kids!!!

 

I couldn't say it any better...

 

Being a moron and ignorant. What a combination. Probably an egotistic person as well from the way you are replying to other people and the way you reply.
What, just because you never seen a slick road from raining, you proclaim that it doesnt make a slick surface....
Also I said incident....not accident, and yes you are the idiot.

 

WTF guys?? some of you need to learn a little bit about the structure of a car and how impacts can effect them.. hitting a pole at 40mph can easily completely destroy a car with ease. The area on the car where the pole impacted is one of the weakest points on the car, all the structuring in that area is designed to withstand a front end impact so there is little to no strength there to withstand a side impact. The only area on most cars that is designed to withstand side impact is the door/passenger compartment area. ive worked in a bodyshop all my life and have taken frame damage alignment schooling and i can tell you i have seen worse damage at slower speeds then 40mph.
And i can also tell you all about slick road conditions, in the area i live, i have discovered that what happens is in heavily traveled areas that havent seen rain for a while, when it rains all the oils and crap that leak out of peoples shitty cars becomes worse then ice, i refuse to drive in the city around here when it rains. you can seriously be driving outside the city and the roads are not slick at all, then as soon as you get into the city its like ice. In my car i cant even get it to go up a hill from a stop!! it just spins like your in the snow.

 

Try letting off the clutch slower.

have a good day sir

 

thanks for the tip ill have to try that next time, i wasnt aware that would make a difference...

 

guys, guys, GUYS!!!

I think we are missing the most important point here.

Automatic S5s deserve to die for being the fat pigs that they are.

But seriously, it is only natural to make excuses for an accident. The OP may or may not have been driving like a D Bag but it really doesn't matter does it? Ultimately it is his loss and thankfully it only cost him a car.

S happens. Learn from your mistakes. Buy another car (hopefully not a lame automatic).

 

HAHAHAHAHAHa. The only facts you proved is that you really dont know anything and are a ******* idiot!!! . Now STFU dipshit

 

didn't you say you where done with this thread?

maybe it was just my imagination

i've come to the realization your an idiot and it realy doesn't mater what you say anyways

anyways Cmanns even though you said your done with RX-7s i would bet one day you'll see a RX for a great price and you'll be right back in the game

 

Sorry for your loss man, as for everyone talking crap in this thread, seriously, just chill out. There are many factors that can cause an accident. You don't know all the facts on the actual roads condition to decide if he is lying or not. As for the damage looks possible too me. Hit a pole which would cause concentrated damage. Judging where the damage is (front fender before the wheel well) those parts are designed to crush on impact.


Again cmanns sorry for your loss hopefully you get back into the rotor game sooner or later

 

Sorry to hear about your loss, whether or not it was you messing around or a slick road, atleast your alrite. Hopefully a turbo seven is in your future
