Add that's it's a RWD. People need to be careful. Check your tires. Especially during rain season.
Translation, west coasters don't know how to drive in the rain and their cars are more likely not prepared for it (i.e. summer tires all year long or balding tires).

To the OP, I am glad you are ok. Good luck on the repairs!

There also another thread where a guy slammed on the brakes and the car slid into another car. The ABS didn't kick in. (It was also raining).

I had a similar thing happened to me when I had a 1996 Teg. The difference was, the ABS kicked in. AND I had some falken tires that had over 80k miles on them. LOL

Long story short, I was only a centimeter away from rear ended this Mexican guy in a Corolla who stopped in the middle of the street. It was also raining hard. I was surprised I didn't hit him because I was going 35+ on the HWY.

The G goes through tires the same way it goes through gas. So yes, keep an eye on the tires and put in all season tires just to be safe.

Damn Carlos...sorry to hear. I recommend Montclair autobody. They are I-CAR collision certified, not too far from you, do excellent body work and will color match your LP. I've used them personally and they even had a DuPont rep come out when they weren't getting the paint to come out "just right". Talk to Joseph and tell him Mike with the nice DG G with wheels sent you. You don't really need an appointment for an estimate, but it probably wouldn't hurt either.

My tires last 40-50k miles, don't drop the suspension, run without camber plates, and expect to have even tire wear!

i got 38k on my old set of tires. hydroplaneing has all to do with tread depth.

check your tires peeps.

If you know how to brake properly, ABS is not necessary. Things like VDC, Traction control, and ABS are driver aids that compensate for the degrading skill level of the average driver. My OEM Tires lasted 28k miles and my Hankook Ventus Evo12 have 9k miles on them, 1 track day, and they look brand new. You're driving a 300hp car that weighs 3500lbs, of course it doesn't get good gas milage, that being said it gets the same if not better than any of the 3 subarus I owned previously. You can't compare it to a honda.

Sorry to the OP about your accident. I don't know of any local shops but I feel for you and hope your car gets fixed quick and promptly!
