Love driving in the rain. A good test. Know you limits. Then push them.

it's ok to drive through small puddles. just don't try to take your car under water or anything. i've driven through some big puddles and it's fine

If I get better tires, then maybe I'll change my mind about the rain. Right now they're at less than 2/32 right now. Only good for parking lot donuts

He has good reason to be concerned, he has no fender liners and his filter is right in front of his tires. I only takes one puddle to hydro lock his motor or blow a head gasket.
