damn that sucks!!
I almost wrecked my t/a in the rain, did a 360 spin on the freeway heading towards the side railing and then my car just stops a foot away. After that i HATE driving in the rain.

Im pretty worried on how much they are gonna raise my rates too :/ Thanks for all the complements thought guys i have a great paint guy and i spent months figuring out how i wanted it done im glad to see that all my hard work is showing

Are you that bad of a driver that you cant drive a rear wheel drive car in the rain? With decent tires, you should be able to drive a rear wheel drive car in the rain just as good as any other car. I drive my car in snow man, rain ain't ****.

I was thinking this too. I drove my 425 rwhp car with 315 DRs through a damn blizzard and made it safely. I guess experience and patience are the key here. It was priceless rolling by ditched SUV's and AWD subarus. The only problem I had was "snowplowing" and having to kick all the snow off the front every once in a while so it didn't jam up the wheel wells.

i actually techniclly totaled my car that way in october or so. it was absolutely pouring i mean you couldnt see out of the windshield it was so bad. i thought id head home and like an idiot i decided id take the highway on completely bald *** DR's 
i didnt even make it on the interstate i did a 540 basiclly the moment the on ramp actually turned into highway. i could see anything and i just knew a semi was gonna eat my car. it thankfully ended up in a ditch but the only problem was the nose was in about a foot of water and had basiclly ripped the bottom of the front bumper off not to mention hitting two of those reflector things on the side of the road which both left a very nice 4 or so inch section of my rocker panel dented in and it looked like a football player drop kicked my passenger side quarter panel
so my insurance company was pissed and claimed it was my fault and said they ere gonna total it and after a bit of talking they payed a big chunk of the repairs and its still alive and well. but i didnt die and the car is looking as good as ever so as long as your ok thats what matters
