Did a little off roading yesterday morning..somewhat lengthy

So I get on the interstate behind this really slow Escort and had to get around them because they were just going way to slow. So I pass them but the road had been wet from a good morning shower. I get in the lane to go around this horseshoe exit and lock up the brakes. That is when the fun began. I started to hydroplane big time. I hit one of those curbs that is kind of flat but still goes up.
I hear crunk(either the motor or radiator guard) and then the car came to a rest. It was not that bad at all but it scared the crap out of me. There is no external damage but Im pretty sure I need new strut mounts now because thank the Lord I had tokicos struts and shocks on or it probably would of been worse. I have oversized tires on too and that did not help because too much tread was on the ground. I probably going to get the undercarriage checked today when I go in for a oil change and such so we will see. But the car drives fine now although I need those mounts because they are shot.
