Others of us drive in whatever God gives us. I'm not a big fan of driving nuts in the rain - fast, yes, but I try to avoid spinning my tires. While my tires can take it, I don't know that my body panels can .

I will be taking the mustang out today, hoping the new(used) tires make a differnece last time I drove it, it was scary. tires were bald as helland tail got loose driving straight at 45 mph in 5th gear.

and the thing isn't even "high hp vehicle"


Camaro is in the garage, I just clayed it yesterday, still haven't zainoed it yet... but it needs some down time I put 10k miles on it since Xmas.

Yeah its a blast when you are doing like 75 and can feel your car hydroplaning every 15 seconds because your front tires are almost bald because they used to be on the back.

I tend to drive below the speed limits, and as carefully as possible in the rain.
Too many horror stories, plus my nittos are starting to lose their center tread lines..

learned my lesson about driving in the rain, broke loose at 55mph couldn't get it back under control, jumped the median ended up in the ditch on opposite side of the street. Snapped two rims, bent lca's, and my car still sits lower on one side since I haven't gotten around to replacing the suspension yet.

Well if fun = stupid then yeah...

Not to bright to endager everyone on the road by spinning the tires in the rain. Especially at 45mph.
