UPDATE TO MY SITUATION:

I decided to hop in the boxster, take it out and gain my confidence in the car again. As I was driving down the 57 freeway at a good pace past the speed limit, everything seemed alright. But then it started raining again.

By the time I hit the 22 westbound, the road was pretty wet. Again, about 65mph, I began feeling the front tires slipping and sliding left, right, left, right within the lane. I immediately applied the brakes and gained control again.

My opinion (and I'm not a performance expert or mechanic) is that there is an alignment/suspension problem. Could this be just the tires? What can I do and how much will it be? Can I claim my spinout as an accident for insurance?
