I hate rain. Cant drive like I want to at the speeds I want to, car gets dirty, gotta plan events around the weather, etc. 1st world problems.

Hate it enough that I'm planning a move from Seattle area to Phoenix.

My tires love rain
My car hates rain
I have a love/hate relationship with rain because of it.

The first time I opened the car up was in the rain that was falling in heavy sheets, was very fun and fast in torrential rain flying down empty downtown streets.

I like doing donuts freely on slick roads, but the car drives way better on cool sunny days and dry pavement. Also having wet feet (with cold feet, bad circulation) can really put a damper on my pedal-feel and make me drive poorly.

Love the rain... Not as hard on the tires . I actually looped it the other day. I had a sharp turn down par in the dry and decided to do it in the rain. Flick it in, get on the gas, and OH CRAP hehehe. Took off WAY faster then expected and spun out . Clutch and brake in, wait till it's stopped, no traffic, pop the clutch and 180 back on the road and off I go :P

So much more fun then a FWD hehehe.

I like it a little bit more now that I'm not running the stock tires (those are crazy on wet pavement) but still, I just washed that. Dark blue + silver wheels = a lot of washing and rain isn't helping.

Where are you getting an hour? Maybe round trip. I live ~20 miles north of Seattle.
