My camaro just slipped... Car crash

Hey,

I haven't been around on the net lately, busy with studies. I feel home here so that's why I'm posting this thread.

It was raining heavily last night and I just couldn't control the car. I wasn't even speeding at all. I was released from the hospital this morning, hurt my neck and knee but I'm okay, I guess.

I don't know what will happen to my Camaro but I'm hoping to get some feedback from you all based on the pictures. Please drive safe and wear your seat belts.

Glad you're OK; cars can be fixed. Shows how much I know about Bahrain though as I didn't know it ever rained much or hard there.

I've driven in Bahrain on wet roads before. Why is it your roads turn to snot when they get wet? They're the same way in the Baltic countries. I had a hard time keeping a Landcruiser on the blacktop! It felt better driving in the sand!

Glad you're OK. How does your insurance work over there? Hope all is fixed quick.

Holy Cow!
What happened to the wheel, and how? Is it bent, or broken off? Did you hit something? It looks like your Camaro was the victim of a hillbilly derby or something. In any event, I'm glad to hear you're ok. That's the most important thing. I've never "slipped" in the rain, but I have in the snow, and it's not a good feeling.

That's the problem with places that don't receive much rain. The roads never get washed and all kinds of oil and dirt build up. When it rains, look out.

Pretty Sure he hit that tree the car is resting on.



Glad to hear you are OK. That wheel does not look good based on the shot, but can't really see what is going on behind it.

Looks like at least Fender, Hood (maybe? Is it as bent as it looks in the photo?) front clip and whatever happened behind it.

How fast would you say you were actually moving at the point of impact?
