Take it out and AutoX in the pouring rain of course!

At least the water was beading up nicely, and if you look close you can see the wax doing its job. It wasn't that dirty when I got home either.

Thanks to Rich for showing me the ropes and to Arlene for the pictures!

Thanks! The rear only stepped out twice and just a tiny bit. The active handling and traction control work nicely I didn't even hit any cones!
