Watched an Eclipse completely smash their front end on a guard rail on 35. This was before the downpouring began around 6:00 pm.... Bad drivers.

FYI, Continental DW's are amazing on wet surfaces.

Wow - I'm working in Mexico City this week so missed the rain. Btw- I have avoided driving my FR-S in the rain. How would I turn on the wipers? :-)

I'll bite...

Down 1 click on the right stalk, and adjust the speed with the little slider on the stalk up and down. Pull it towards you for the fluid.


I hope I didn't just get trolled, but I figure I did.

Kinda glad I missed the rain. I drove on 35 during the "snow storm" earlier this year and wow, Austinites cannot drive in adverse weather.

It feels like you're really going fast at 70 when everyone else is going 50 on the interstate. It's quite pathetic. We're talking very little water on the road too.

Yesterday wasn't too bad for me on the roads. Most people weren't stupid but people were taking it really slow. Austinites should definitely know how to drive in rain by now haha.

I can tell you one thing though, I had my weather app and phone nearby when driving around yesterday. Always on the lookout for hail.

I was out yesterday and no cover over the car. Was very worried about hail to the point I wasn't having fun.
