    That`s a good car that will let you walk away. It did it`s job. Cars can be replaced, you can`t. Glad you`re OK.

    Ray !!!!!

    Holy Cow !!!

    I am so sorry... Your Sable was easily the most beautiful one - on the Eastern Seaboard...

    But so glad that you are ok..

    There must have been oil or something on the road... Dang it...

    Its been a beautiful car - I remember back when you first bought it and posted pics of it..

    For sure, the Optimum Coating was there and who knows, perhaps someone will be able to resurrect it again...
    If they do, you will know it when you see it because it will be BLINDING in the sun..

    Glad you are ok...

    That`s scary, but it`s good to hear you walked away unharmed. I love the dedication getting those final beading shots.

    Tire dressing overspray? I`m kiddin` you Ray. I know how tough this is. My wife was sitting at a light and had her 7 year old Bonneville t-boned by a Jeep. Dealing with the insurance was a joke. Mine like yours, was as clean as any vehicle in its category. The came back with settlement offers using Buick`s as the basis for their offer with the mindset that it was the same car underneath. Haggling to get what it was worth was beyond a joke.

    Lol actually I don`t think many!

    It was scary as I was sitting there facing oncoming traffic, cars continued to fly past me. When the fire trucks pulled up, they said my lights were out so it was hard to spot me even though i had my warning lights on. I guess the front end collision may have damaged the headlights? Then FHP showed up and put down a few warning flares and I was off the road pretty quickly without backing up any traffic. Everyone I met that night did a great job getting me off the road. Very efficient.

    Glad your alright! We lived in Sebastian for 6 years and always wondered why people would slide off the road when it rained. We even "tried" to replicate it in our intepid. @ 70 the road just wasnt slippery. I dont get it. We did have all seasons on though, in case it snowed!

    Glad to hear you`re ok! Hydro planing is no joke. Unfortunately it can be a fine line that most of us don`t learn until it`s too late. Learning the hard way sucks. I`ve had a few close calls and have been very fortunate myself to not lose control.

    Just out of curiosity, I don`t suppose you were using cruise control were you? I`ve heard that if you hydro plane while using cruise control along with traction control or something along those lines, your car may react by trying to accelerate, causing a spin out.
