So Ive been looking to trade my 2009 Yamaha Raider for a sports car. I got tired of riding motorcycles and people trying to kill me. I found a great deal on a 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra Clone. the motor was a 302 bored .040 over and was up to about 352 ci. also installed was a p600b procharger and it was pushing about 7psi of boost. the car had balls. well i was driving home after making the trade and it had been raining for some time but i didnt think anything of it. when getting on the freeway i hydroplaned and lost the back end. i was able to control the car enough to not hit the guard rail or the median. unfortunately the truck that was a little wasy behind me either didnt see everything happen, or was honestly unable to avoid me and hit me. so i traded my heavily modded bike, worth about $13,000 for a heavily modded mustang which unfortunately the blue book value is only around $5,000. the car will most likely be totaled, and unless i come up with the money out of my pocket for repairs, im out about $10,000. in the end it will be close to probably $3,000 out of pocket, so we'll see if i can swing it. thanks for letting me vent. its been an awful day...
