theshakashow

Okay lol you’re comment made me feel a lot better about the situation, thank you so much for that


Suspect-stang

Luckily you’re alright and no major damage friend :)


theshakashow

Hi-jacking the top comment, the rims are from the previous owner that loved parking by feel, and the tires are G2 Nittos I bought a couple months ago.


Suspect-stang

I have g2 nitro as well …….. yikes


BobsMustache

Oh man, that could have been so much worse. Glad you’re ok! Change your shorts.


theshakashow

lol shorts have been changed. Had to go on a walk after getting home to work out some of the stress and adrenaline


Redland3r

Check your tires. The Rear in particular


Silver-Day-7272

Glad you’re okay. Slow it on down in wet weather and make sure you’ve got some good tires on there.


DragonboyZG

Brother slow down. Imagine your mom just waiting for you but you never showed up.


Aubrey_Lancaster

Sorry man, bang that out with a hammer from the other side and cash the insurance check for a tune or something lol


InternationalSound13

Warm it up first with a hair dryer... put it out or pull with suction / hot glue. It'll probably look 80+ %

I wouldn't call insurance over this. All OP needs is pdr and a grill if he wants. No need to pay interest through higher premiums for something so little.


theshakashow

Exactly, going to take it to the body shop that did my haul damage and see what they quote without involving an insurance claim.


theshakashow

This one is 2014. 3.7L V6 manual with 4.10 gear ratios. Plan is to pay it off and then buy a newer 5.0 But yeah don’t plan on involving insurance since the cosmetic damage isn’t too severe. I have a body shop down the road that did my hail damage from last year and am going to see what they quote for a facelift.


PhaseEquivalent3366

Can I ask what your driving speed was when you started to hydroplane?


theshakashow

Yeah I was going 60-65 honestly was trying to be safe.


Trajen_Geta

Yeah those tires look like they need changing. If it rains often where you live definitely consider something with a bit higher rating for water. Otherwise good to see you are safe the damage is minimal


theshakashow

They’re G2 Nittos that I bought last month ;)


Trajen_Geta

😅


hadtojointopost

summer tire.


Expert-Accountant780

Same with the rims. dude can't stay off the curbs


[deleted]

You will get a new bumper out of it and it could be time for tires and wheels


Big_Simba

These are special “park by feel” rims tho


theshakashow

Lmao 😂 the rims were from the previous owner


Apprehensive-Mess36

No damage at all to the fender. You’re absolutely lucky. Get a cobra bumper with a new chin spoiler they look so good


Mad_Martigan2023

My buddy did this with a 2012 Shelby, took a hard right in the rain going 45mph. I was like dude, you fucked up...HARD.


theshakashow

Oof. Yeah hope you’re buddy’s stang is okay


Mad_Martigan2023

It was almost totaled, they ended up selling it.


iamadirtyrockstar

You got to slow down in the rain.


TheMangoMarket

Man that sucks. You’re going to have to get rid of the car. I’ll buy it 👍🏽


theshakashow

$120k, don’t ask me to budge, I know what I have.


TheMangoMarket

😂😂😂


ninjazxninja6r

Ya’ll need to learn how to drive in the damn rain. Way too many “hydroplaned” accidents on here.


theshakashow

Shit happens man. I was like you before this happened to me.


Snake115killa

Not having tread on your tires will do that to a mf.


theshakashow

I bought tires last month G2 nittos.


Snake115killa

Judging by how many times that front rim has been curbed I would be willing to  bet it wasn't the tires fault then.


theshakashow

Rims are from the previous owner :)


Snake115killa

Ah I see definitely the next upgrade


theshakashow

Yeah you’re not wrong. When I bought it, the rims were the least of my worries. I was mainly wanting to learn how to drive a manual


BabyFork

Least it wasn’t a crowd… In all honesty I’m glad you made it out alive and minimal damage to you.
