thanx for your opinion bro:moon: , but I grew up in Oregon. I have more experience driving in rain than in any other kind of weather, plus I was on a long road trip on the freeway and it started to rain hard for like 15 mins. It handled fine, I did take precaution and slowed down but was still going like 80 - 90 mph, which is not that fast in this car. I don't think intelligence has anything to do with it. its experience. If you know how to drive in rain then you have an advantage. Yes it also depends heavily on tires and condition of the tires and suspension. That is common sense.

Windows down and sunroof up is awesome.

I know I know lol, over here you'd get arrested for drivin on a pavement is what I meant!
Carefull in the dry and more carefull in the rain is a good attitude.

Fragile ego too, that might explain some things...

On the open road driving at those speed in a "major down pour" is just reckless therefore not bright . I did that sort of thing when I was much younger and didn't car about others safety.

Good for you. Maybe you aren't confident with your driving ability. I had no problem with it. I highly doubt that when the speed limit is 75 and you are going 80 to 90 in the fast lane and it rains, you are not putting people in any considerable danger. Good weather people are scared of adverse weather conditions, I learned to drive and perfected my skill in these kind of conditions. Nice try. btw age has nothing to do with it. Your comments about my experience is unwanted, I don't give a fuck. thanx for your :bss: though.

Very slowly, always drive very slow in the rain. I've spun out several times driving the rain. One time exiting the freeway @100 mph I turned wheel just a bit to take the off ramp and started to spin. I turned the wheel all the way to the right did 2 360s and landed in the mud on side of freeway. entire car was covered in mud. Better than hitting the wall. Sure you can drive 80-100 or whatever in the rain no problem, untill you enter a big puddle and start hydroplaining. Then you just hope the puddle ends quickly becasue your wheels are not touching the road.

only 18wheelers are allowed to speed in the rain and snow.

IMO the biggest factor in losing control is inexperience, followed by tyre compound.
If you have no 'feel' for the car you're gonna drive like a pussy or worse like a maniac, in the rain!
When my rex came over from Japan it had their Yokohamas on it. Talk about scary! Why are Japenese tyres so hard - do they not have rain over there? I mean even on dry roads the back end would skip and slide. Maybe it was just because they were old tyres, the imports dont do much mileage over there.
So I put some FSD3's on and now it sticks like glue, full power out of any bend and no sliding.
