Raining

Anyone else now enjoying rain?

Its odd, but I find myself a lot happier than I used be when it rains. I'm all about turning the driver assists off & having a little fun.

I like driving in the rain, but I'm in Oregon so I have too. I hate maintaining my car in rainy weather though. I wash 1-2times a week and fully wax/polish/claybar once a month all by hand. Rain gets my raven all dirty :/

I love the rain, but I grew up in and still live in Oregon. I've been all over and the PNW will always be home

I drive like a grandma in the rain on these prius tirres, our rural hilly roads are dangerous enough dry, but it is the perfect habitat for the fr-s.

I hated the rain with the stock bridgestones.

I just put on a set of continental DW summer rubber, and now the car barely gets squirrelly at all. And in the dry? It's like superglue.

We will see how much you like the rain when you have a close call.
