Default Rain troubles

All this rain this week ain't good for letting the S out. Wish I had another car to DD while all this wild weather has been going on. At least I have a garage to keep it in at night. Any stories this week about your adventures in the rain this week? For me I felt like I could never rev above 5k just to have peace of mind.

Yup. Accidents, accidents everywhere. I keep hearing ambulances and police sirens go off every now and then on the road.

I still hit V-Tec and let go of the gas @ 7200 RPM. Drive w/ confidence brand new Dunlop Z1 Starspecs all around. Almost got hit by a taxi cab driver this morning while on the way to clinic. At least he waved sorry at me while he was talking on his cell phone
