My third set of 25k-rated summer tires were pushing 23k life in oil-soaked rainy conditions. These new ones now have 50 miles on them. But thank you for your concern.

Since you care so much for correcting peoples grammar, and then follow with an incomplete sentence.

I think the correct quote is "who the f&$k pissed in your cherrio's this morning" haha. But in all honesty if you are use to fwd cars this car will not be easy to drive in less than good conditions with even the best tires.

Luckily we only get a handful of days of rain a year, and I can just drive like grandma. :happy0180:

This car is like ever other car in bad condition, meaning rain, not snow or ice.. Leave the nannies on and everyone is fine.. Take them off and that's when you see the wrecks.. I've done everything I could and still couldn't spin out the car with the nannies on.. Was close once but the car still caught itself..

I haven't seen the OP put blame on anything other then himself.. Just a lot of "pro" drivers giving him shit.. Btw you guys rock

Sorry to hear about all that man but again at least you are safe and unharmed. Believe it or not...your story is fairly similar to mine and how I came to get my Fr-S. Rear tire blew on the highway bridge. It was raining and barring the fact I was already doing about 50mph (which usually is very safe in that location) It swung out on the rear end while I was in the curve. I hit the first sidewall bounced off it...went all the way across to the other sidewall and after bouncing off it ended up in the middle of the road. No problems with me but the worst part is the TICKET I got for FAILURE TO MAINTAIN LANE! LOL WTF!! Anyways My Raven FR-S is getting 5 AD tricked out now. Just waiting on the aero kit. You will enjoy the car as everyone has already stated.

Continuing on with the grammar thread jack...

Considering "cheerio's," [sic] the apostrophe connotes ownership of something. Adding only an s to cheerio provides the plural that I believe you were intending. As well, Cheerios should always be capitalized, as it is a registered trademark, and as such, is treated like a proper noun.

I now await the correction of my response.

I'll make sure to keep all four on the road. :P

Yeah, it's only got 200hp and a wee bit of torque. It's not like it's like one of these guys:
