Rainy weekend, drive carefully
 
Driving back from work I already saw a twin on the side of the road over the curb. Luckly I don't think the driver is hurt and I think the car is recoverable aside from hurt pride.
I general our cars are safe in the rain, just don't drive like a jackass and leave all electronic handling systems on.

the don't drive like a jackass part is more important. I've driven my MR2 (no traction control, no nothing - "sport mode is ALWAYS ON" haha) for many years in rainy weather and managed not to explode into flames or lose control.

Funny you should say that, I went Sport Mode as soon as the rain started :bellyroll:

But in all seriousness, yes let's all drive carefully - be safe!

These cars have stability control? 30 seconds into my first drive I executed a gorgeous, D1-spec powerslide with the stability control very, very On.

I'm actually kind of stunned they're willing to sell a car with so little wet grip. It's... delightful.

Perfect opportunity to practice/master drifting without wearing out your tires. Haven't you seen Initial D? :lol:

All seriousness though just be careful out there when driving in non ideal conditions. My BRZ stays in the garage and the beater gets the rain :)
