  • Slow down or get new tires.....

    I swear, we've been working wrecks all day and it's caused by either driving too fast for conditions, or driving on wet/rainy streets with little tread.

    Hey people, no rain for months and months and months + shit ton of cars that pull fluids onto the roads = slick owl shit when the rain floats oils to the surface.

      That's no shit ! I was leaving the golf course this morning and came up to the stop sign a little too hot and started sliding.

      but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy shit!!!.. what a ride!"

        that's the truth. I was plugging along in the wife's Honda yesterday doing 45 and all of a sudden, I watched the speedo jump up to 50... felt ZERO other indication that the car started hydroplaning and then spinning! LOL

        needless to say, I slowed it down and she's getting new tires this week

            Hydroplaning is fun.

              I was implying that people should know to slow it down because of the exact factor you stated.

                      When I was in driving school, I was the only one in the class that knew that. I drive a car that is well known to have traction issues in the rain, so I am keeping it slow today.

                        I learned this lesson the hard way after hydroplaning my mach 1 off of I-20 in sweetwater due to bald tires. Never again have I let tires go that far without replacing them. Luckily it only cost me a new front bumper.

                            Screw you guys that are getting rain...

                            Every spring here when the pine trees start blooming and there is suddenly yellow dust/slime on every car, the first time the streets get wet it seems they are covered by slime, no matter how good your tires are, in heavy braking during that week or three is very 'iffy'. I thought people were full of shit when they first told me that when I moved here, until I slid through the first time stop sign with tires that were four weeks old.
