Shoot ... Wall 1 brother's car 0 ... caused by the rain
 

Well, in San Jose, Ca there was some heavy raining today, and my brother(who just went to Seattle for a trip) let me use his car (2000 civic Hatch Black (stock) ) and while I was on 280 North a little bit past the Valley Fair Mall, the car out of nowhere starts to skid. I don't believe there was anything I could do. To make a long story short, I end up doing a 180 and hit the passenger front and rear before I came to a stop. Luckily I didn't hit anybody, and my friend in the passenger seat is okay too.
After checking to see if my tires and rims were okay, I drove off doing the errands that I had to do.

Damage, steering is ****ed up, the steering wheel is turned almost 90 degrees when going straight, and I think my radiator support has been pushed towards the driver side I think.

Here are some pics. As you can see from the alignment of the hood to the lights, it looks pushed to the drivers side.

The thing that sucks the most, is that this car just got out of the body shop about a month ago, because it got rear ended. My body shop is going love this.

Oh shiit, you were skidding on the freeway?....im glad you are okay. I guess you were hydroplaning? That is some scary shiit.

woooo :eek: it's a good thing ur ok. the damage looks aiite. i think it should be too bad to get it fixed up. but main thing is... glad ur alright. if you think today's weather is bad.. wait till friday...

i must agree weather lately has been really really shiaty. even the drive to work i have to drive slow... even though there are crazy drivers all over cutting in front of me. i guess just cuz i got a muffler and lowered... they expect me to gun it or something... FTS. anyway... i'm in san jose too.... and i know how crazy it gets up in 280... just cus there are more lanes doesn't mean others should drive like crazy.

The rain and snow has been ****ing up alot of peoples rides this winter. I have been lucky so far. :Crossesfingers:

is he gonna beat your ass? i would lol

that's why I dont like to borrow other peoples cars:(

:eek:, are you going to pay for it or is the insurance? That's ****ty bro', at least you weren't in your car :).

:werd:

That sux... glad you're ok though.

it will come out of HIS insurance btw... so i suggest you pay for it out of pocket.

i didn't know it rained that hard in san jose... i've always been there when its parched dry...

Yeah... I know what you mean. I live here in SJ too and the storms have been pretty crazy. So far, the accident count that I know of personally is at 3. All of them caused by the rain.
