Hope this wasn't anyone here...

With the heavy rain in Southern California, I think this was a hydroplane. Be careful on bald or summer tires...

Yeah looks dropped to me also. Blacked out chrome and badges too. Guy must be into some serious mods.

Seriously though, what's with these tail lights? Never seen the red parts recessed like that?

Yep yep.

That C63 looked clean though, feel extremely bad for the owner. Looks like a pretty hard hit, hope everyone was ok as well.

Literally hate seeing this. Was just in Austin, TX for a week and people there adhere to general driving lane rules. Passing lanes are respected and such. Driving on the California highways is such a sh*t show. Cars passing on the right lane, left lane, etc.

I see semi trucks and delivery trucks in the fast lane sometimes here...

I don't think these delivery drivers are trained how to drive, they are just hired to get the crap from A to B...

there is no fast lane, passing lane, slow lane in Cali. All the lanes are all the things. Love when you get that old lady in the old *** car going 45mph on the 5 in the fast lane. It happens way more often than it doesnt.
