Be careful driving in the rain - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Nothing big, but I was having fun on Alpine / Pagemill road testing out the Pilot Super Sports.. they're surprisingly super grippy even in the rain.. but at one turn I must have got into some mud and the fron wheels slid. I was only going around 10 - 15 so I just slid into the mud off the road, but it was one of those moment where you think "uh oh!"

. All the other wheels were on the road, so I just got back on the road and continued on. Moral of the story is watch the texture of the road.. It can tel you a lot.

Still had fun driving in the rain.. At one point on 35 it was pretty foggy and surreal. Should have brought my gopro.

This thing really does wonder with debris on the road, noticed this doing slow corner with small amounts of gravel, front end just plows. Hit that shit when your doing 100+ around a good corner, goodbye shiny new 86...

Fun. Definitely fun. I like the weather it was nice and dry then up the mountain I go. It started to sprinkle and became foggy. Down the hill it started to pour a lot and some wind here and there. Rain rain rain towards San Jose.

As a child of the midwest I find it mildy amusing that a little rain is a big deal in California. Now check out the snow, especially in hilly areas like Seattle, that's a recipe for real havoc and fun.

VSC is a lifesaver for sure @.@

(Or at least a car saver)

lots of dust and small rocks on the roads earlier when the roads dried up after the rain.
