slammed into 6 inches of rain at 80MPH
i was goin hella fast bout 100 when i saw the MASSIVE puddle on the belt parkway. i slammed the brakes and got down to 80 when i slammed into it all. after i get outta the puddle i here this metal grinding sound. i get off at the next exit and everything seems fine however its dark outside so not sure. i pump the brakes 5-6 times and hit the road and everything is ok ??!?! anybody want to venture a guess?!?! my brakes are very bad right now. so im guessing the metal behind whats left of the pad hit the rotor and since it was so hot, fused to it
seems to be the only answer i could think of. any thoughts?!?!

besides the rotors (which can be replaced), did you hydroplane at all?.....with my old stock tires i'd be pretty much fucked going through any puddle at 35 or 40....my new sumitomos, i'm good to about 50, 55. how'd you get out of a puddle going 80- holy crap. any stabilty problems?...skid?....carefull, next time. -shawn

I think these are the most probable answers, sand from the puddle got in between the rotor and the pad or the really hot rotors, were instantly cooled by the water and they warped then.... either way new pads is the minimal ammount of repair.. sorry to hear that.
did you hydroplane much?

well the rain stopped at like 10. and it was pretty open at 11. is it not plausible? i do it all the time.
i was in it for about 2-3 solid secs be4 i got the chance to pull the left more and get the tire out of it. it was only the right front tire that was making the sound. it was only the right side that went through it

Extremely hard to believe that you hit a puddle of water 6 inches deep at 80 mph with only one side of the car and didn't lose control. You are either a really lucky guy or you should go try out for Formula-1.
I've hydroplaned before. It doesn't take much to happen. Six inches of water at 80 mph with only one side virtually guarantees a spin-out. Unless you made a mistake and were actually going slower than that.
I don't know, just speaking from my own experience.

The Belt Parkway gets ridiculous when it's raining out. I was coming home from Dyker Heights one night when it was pouring, and the whole ride home was just ridiculous. I was going about 45 the whole way home.
I was out on delivery today (I work for a pizzeria and yes, I do deliveries in my TL-S, I need the money) and my poor car went through hell. I got juice from grilled chicken all over my seats, my door panels were soaked, the little crevace in the door was flooded with water, it was an absolute mess. I didn't go out all night, I'm waiting until tomorrow morning to see how bad I messed up my interior after that little excursion.

What your problem is?
I think his 6 inches of water maybe less, I am going to guess that he exagerated to prove a point... I just keeping wondering how he did not hydroplane and/or lose control of the vehicle.... either way, tpatel, you got lucky man.....

I had something like that happen to me.... it was only maybe 1inch deep or less but i got the same thing. I was so scared.. btw i was only doing 50 in a 45mph when that happened... i broke lightly down to 30 or so. i heard a lot of grinding... once i came to a full stop got out the car the sound was gone.

I'm only going to say one thing..........after yesterday's storm you are such a dick for driving a 100mph ......especially on the belt parkway of all places.
But i still hope everything is ok.

WOW, I drive on the belt from time to time and if you were doing 100, then you are some kind of jeck, and that's being nice
It's guys like you who will kill some poor person that is doing nothing wrong and maybe yourself also. Any person that drives that fast on the belt should be put in jail for a week or so, this way other drives could be safe.

Holy Crap, I better look out for this "belt" it sounds like everyone is on there and you guys don't like the idea of speeding on it.
mental note : drive the speedlimit when traveling on the "belt"
I hit +280km on the DVP going from Richmond Hill to downtwon Tornoto in 7.5min in rush hour traffic!! ( that trip can easily take over an hour in traffic, about 30-40 min in a good pace by car). I was a passenger on a Ninja1300, that is incredibly stupid I know, but I don't think I get in that much crap for telling my fellow Toronto TL'ers.
What's up with this "belt" tight turns? bad traffic? lots of accidents?

Belt Parkway is a highway that pretty much runs thru bklyn to queens and connects you to southern state parkway in long island. the other side takes you to manhatten or staten island. since it goes to the major populated areas there are 100000000000000000 cars on it all the time. always slow moving traffic. and the road sucks ass. and right not they are renovating so it makes it 10X worse. sooo when you find that the belt is wide open like that, the speedster in you is just like " gotta floor it, gotta go for it"

considering that you could of only used the middle lane of the belt (on the sides the shit is always flooded) and doing as you say 100?
I dont think i can even do 100 on a nice sunny day on the belt.
u got lucky.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh Yeah!! The driver was doing wome really illegal passes, dirving on the shoulder, passing on the single lane ramp and driving straight down the center between all the cars..
I thought to myself, if I do anything to screw the driver up, we're toast! So... I was leaning on every turn pretending it was a video game and had an incredible time!! Thank-God the driver was experienced, even though I know all it takes is a car changing lanes or a bump in the road and we're gone.
And from that day foward I swore I would never get a bike myself.. I would end up going wayyyy to fast, to often... and I don't have the money for thoes kind of tickets or insurance. Never the less, it was an ridiculously amazing time, and by far the fastest I have ever gone. And 280 was what I saw on the spedometer.. he went a little faster but I don't know how fast, that engine was whining!!!
