glad all made it out alright. just because it's the "speed limit" doesn't mean it's safe for the conditions (rain+curvy road). Gnarly pictures...

Trying to impress your friends with an econobox on curvy, wet roads and bald tires = Fail.

The TC upside-down can support 4 times it's weight. Stronger than almost any other passenger car. You can salvage the shorty antennae!

At least the tC saved 4 lives!

No, the tC handles great in the rain. OP just doesn't know how to drive.

The tC does fine in the rain, but when you have bald tires or a curvy road, what do you expect to happen. I have never had any trouble driving in the tC in the rain.

Reading this ____ ____es me off. You put innocent people's lives in danger both in your car and other people who share the road with you because you thought it was a smart idea to drive on unsafe tires and speed in bad weather conditions.

I hope you realize how lucky you are and dont make the same mistake with properly maintaining your next vehicle.

I guess all the extra bodies caused the bad weight transfer, like rain and bad tires weren't bad enough.
Pretty bad wreckage, doesn't even look like you can salvage the radio.

I use racing/performance tires on the tC so they are somewhat slick. Maybe I should use winter tires hehe.

ouch. should have sucked it up and bought new tires. what were you thinking anyways? at least everyone is ok. you're going to be paying for this for a long time. total losses stay on your record for 3 years with some insurance companies, 5 years with others. i've been paying around $3200 a year because of my accident. before that I was only paying $800.
