After seeing those pics, I too, am relieved you are still around to type!

Not sure what tires you were running and haven't seen pics of the rears, and not tring to be critical of you, but I've seen too many of these... I am guessing S02s?

So, if you get another AP1, please put 17" wheels and something like RE01Rs on it. That has tamed my AP1s rear end down, considerably, and they are great in the rain! If your budget allows, the VSA in an '06+ AP2 will help *dramatically* in this situation, and in the dry, you can turn it off....

Good thing you're allright. Hyrdoplaning is definitely FTL.

..on my way home today, there was a black supra that had gotten loose on 485..it appeared the supra must have hydroplaned because it was facing the wrong direction on the embankment.

I will never get an AP2. One reason VSA, IMO i cant stand it, and the 8K redline. I would love my S back! Mine was an 2003.

VSA didn't come in the early AP2's. I want to say it was added in '06. Craig, if your insurance company won't let you buy it back directly, shoot me the number of the salvage company that gets it.
