I broke her

Hydroplaned getting on the highway, knew it was a thing, it was raining and on my mind, was taking it easy but not easy enough. Felt it wiggle then the rear violently broke loose and fishtailed me off the pavement at about 50mph through the grass and down a minor embankment. Right front hit hard before it came to a stop. No air bags n no injury’s for me.

Glad no injuries for you. Our Camaros have some of the best crash ratings. The car can be repaired.

Ooh damn, sorry man! But glad no injuries. Just out of curiosity what kind of tires are you running? Also as stated above totally looks repairable.

Sorry for your loss.

GYF1SC3s will indeed try to kill you in rain.

Glad you're OK!

I'm very sorry to see your beauty in this rough shape, but it's a blessing you weren't injured.

This is the main reason why I have PS4S tires on the car, by the way. The runflat Goodyears that came with it were about as bad in the rain as your SC3s.

Glad you're ok, this is what insurance is for, hopefully they cover most of the repairs.

Sucks that happened to you, but very glad to hear you are ok... The airbags not going off make this a very repairable situation, find a really good body shop...

Yeah - that damage isn't bad. It's probably a "good" thing it happened in the rain, because of how much it slid over stuff.

Glad you're okay though.
