Rock88,
You seem to be rejecting some feedback from a couple of forum members
who took the time to reply to you.
Your query appears to come from someone who has little experience in
matters of the car. You come across as a teen with just enough knowledge
to be dangerous on the highway. Don't take this the wrong way -- there
certainly is not a thing in the world wrong with being a teen and I commend
you on your choice of cars.
By the way, my first one was a 1959 Bugeye Sprite and number two was
a Jaguar XKE. Both quite well used and, being British cars, needed a lot
of work. Which provided me with a lot of experience in all aspects of car
things. I highly recommend that everyone shoud have an old British car
and work on it themselves. (I'm kidding here)
But you criticize a member who recommended that if smoking the tires
is what you want a Mustang would be a better choice.
I think you might want to reread what you wrote earlier. Let me make
it easier on you:
"I can't smoke the things because I don't know if there is traction control or that it can be turned off. So I figured the alignment was bad. "
That makes no sense at all and even allowing for your apparent age with
regard to the way you structure your sentences, you show that you really
do need some guidance as to the way a car works.
I council that you pay attention to some of the folks here.
When they tell you that you are likely experiencing hydroplaning,
perhaps you should learn from them and not take it as a personal
criticism.
Trust me, and those who already told you, worn tires, especially
wide ones, and standing water are an invitation to disaster.
Get new tires, get it aligned if it needs it and cool it in heavy rain.
I, and others, do not want you to be spinning out of control into
anyone or anything.
Also, one last tidbit, go to driving school. At the very least,
join the Porsche Club and participate in some DE's (Driver's
Education). It's worth way more than it costs.
Especially at a young age -- learn how to do it right.
And this isn't adult BS -- I go to DE's and learn more each time.
Hang in there. You will be okay, just read, learn and drive smart.
Best,
- Mark
PS: If I am wrong about the age thing, please let me know.
I will need to get my antennae adjusted if that's the case.
