Good to hear no one was hurt. Cars can be fixed no matter how extensive the damage... people however.. can't.

Reminds me of a joke.. what's the difference between a doctor & a mechanic.... a mechanics mistake can always come back. Wakka wakka

Hi performance, wide tires, wet roads and speed don't go well together, the rear end will come around on you in a heartbeat if your not careful.
