I just want to make an innocent observation without getting anyone upset. Firstly, I know that Pintos weren't the best in terms of solid construction but what speed do you think they were both doing to cause that kind of MASSIVE damage?

I know that the section of 340 that this occured has a 55 mph speed limit. Assuming that they were traveling this speed that is still a huge impact. BTW- hydroplaning can occur in less than 25 mph.
I implore everyone to slow down when it rains.

Also remember why the pinto's were recalled way back when (they blew up when hit from behind). I believe the pinto and the nova had the same problem.

Can''t tell if you are serious or not. Please tell me you are kidding?

If you are hydroplaning at 25mph, it could be a sign that YOU NEED NEW TIRES!



Pinto's were recalled?

What did they do, take the car from you, give you a new car, remove the gas tank?

The pinto's weren't recalled, they were just like the pickup trucks with the gas tank right behind the driver, they were a known hazard and weren't produced the same way and the pinto was just dis-continued.

Hydroplaning is never the cause for an accident, driving too fast for conditions is the cause and the result is hydroplaning.
