In 1967, I had a 1965 Monza coupe with 4 speed transmission. Driving back to school with my (soon to be) wife and a normal amount of luggage on the Ohio Turnpike, it started to rain. The car became very squirrelly at 70 mph so I slowed to about 55. That's when the front end started to hydroplane. I had absolutely no control and the car did three spins before impaling itself on a guard rail post. Tore the crap out of the engine and underbody and was totalled. Fortunately, neither of us was hurt but both very shaken. Not a fan of Corvairs.
