Saying that he was driving at a constant speed and all of a sudden he lost 
control is kinda hard to swallow.  

If your doing 360s on the highway and sliding around, either A) he 
hydroplaned or B) There was a dramatic change in speed.  

I never did this b4, because I don't own a q, but if you get hydroed, or you 
change your speed real hard, it doesn't matter what car your in, you are 
going to lose control.
