If you can't drive in the rain, you can't drive. So long as the roads aren't covered with that frozen ****, I go driving. Damn I miss the days of the 7's crashing Subie meets and laughing at their moisture fearing ways while tearing off up some windy hill climb on bald tires.

hey i LEARNED to drive in the rain.... but when my goal is to do it each time but FASTER... the rain doesn't help. I don't have a problem throwing the 7 through the slick corners, but its just not as fun.

But on the brighter side.... what does this season have for us to look forward too gang?

-snowboarding
-snow/mud womping
-snow BBQing (sk8erpunk)

What else? lets lengthen the list..........

yah this weather definatly is really fun and really scarey/dangerous. i love to slid around on the way to work in the morning an late nites out with friends but when ur trying to run away and ur tires are just spinning and security is getting closer and closer its a lil nerve wracking and other drivers who dont know that theres a force called friction and when it rains it decreases thats probably the scariest thing about this season
