Default Wet roads+ m/t sport pros= stained underwear

Oh yea, i thought going to sport pros instead of e.t. streets would be better in the rain, i try to avoid it all togeter (rain, but i got caught in a huge storm, i tried to pull over, i just kept saying, a little further, and go slow". well i easily went to 3rd gear, had the radio up, at 30 mph i hit a patch of water, the car wouldnt steer, and veered into oncoming traffic, straight for a ditch, thank god noone was coming so i hit the brakes, (worse thing to do while hydro planeing) and the rear end came around, I sudenly stopped after feeling like i was going to roll sliding sideways to a hault, there was people at a stop sign looking with a horrified look, knowing how bad it could have been, after that i restarted the motor, went 20mph to a post office where i stayed a while, even then, i felt the rearend get loose even in 4th under 1800 rpms? wtf? then went home and changed my draws LOL

so i guess its time for dragradials, or something better, because that was scary it could have been also, the asphalt had'nt seen rain in months, then all of a sudden it comes a turd floatahh! makes for greasy wet pavement.
