Thank God I'm alright, and no other vehicles where involved. It had just started raining, and I was leaving town. I was going 55-60 and I hit a slick spot in the road. The car got loose, the rear end swung right, then left, and then hooked.. this is the end result...

While I'm here, is anyone selling a LS1 Camaro in the Houston area? I think I'll try an automatic this time around... lol

very very sorry bout your car both u guys

My son's Camaro looked like that last winter. He was doing around 70 mph on the freeway and the front end just hydroplaned. Set of Yokohamas with a ton of fresh tread. He spun into the center divider, hitting it with the right front fender and then with the right rear of the car. It popped him back out into the fast lane, but he got lucky and nobody hit him. His head was banged off the side window and he was dazed. Just sat there wondering when he was going to get hit on the passenger side. Scared the crap out of all of us. Hydorplaning seems to be a problem with these cars. My 97 was really bad about that and my 00 has done it a couple of times too.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Look like you lost your aftermarket hood too or you took off the undersiding... eigther way..

Lots of good parts on that thing you can part out if you get the car back.

Hey guys, I just heard today that they are buying my car for what I owe on it. They're going to contact me tomorrow with the final pay out amount, and I will talk to them about the buy back price then...

Good luck with it, I hope you get back what you deserve for it. Do you know what you are going to do with it?

I'm actually not wanting to part it out myself (no room), I'm thinking about selling it to a friend that has the time, and asking for a little bit of the profit, I think some one contacted me about buying it also...
