Had a 1973 Ford Maverick up to 120 mph and the front end began to weave back and forth. Was told later I was just a hair from going airborne. Scared me pretty badly AFTER the fact. Young and stupid.

I totaled up my 1973 Ford Maverick when it hydroplaned between Kingsport and Johnson City, TN. I don’t remember the newly constructed 4-lane divided route number, seems like it was 137?

Going about 70mph, I lost traction and turned clockwise off the road, hit the left front then the left rear on the vertical rock face where the road cut through the terrain. I ended up in the breakdown lane facing the way I was going, still holding the steering wheel thinking “What the hell just happened!”
