When I test drove my S2000 before buying it I almost looped it at the first corner and I was going fairly slow. On the next couple of turns the rear was all over the place. This wasn't the first S2000 I'd driven so I knew it shouldn't have been doing that. I pulled back into the dealership and looked at the tires and sure enough the sidewalls and about 2 inches of the tread had been wiped down with AA or something like it. I pointed it out to the sales manager and he laughed and said he'd have a talk with the "new guy." It took 300 to 400 miles to wear off.

I know I'll get flamed for asking this, but yesterday I got new tires (S-03). Last night, I washed my car. I armor all'ed the sidewalls and thought since the tires were new I would put armor all over them so the whole tire would be jet fockin' black. It looked hella sweet. You guys don't think this might have caused my wreck, do you? I know Armor All is a little slick but I wonder if there was something else wrong with the tires also, or something?

You are an absolute fool.

Yes - the armor all is the cause of your accident. Of course, the fact that you were an idiot at the wheel with traction control off in the rain means that you were bound to crash eventually. Maybe the armor all saved your life by not allowing you to get up to speed before plowing yourself into stationary objects.

Hmm... I covered my tires in slick liquid - do you think that could hurt traction? I hear that sraying Pam on your brake rotors makes them look 'hella sweet' maybe that will be your next detailing project.

The tires were new the day before! WTF? They would be slick without the AA. Then on top of that the TCS too!!! What a moron.

He must have been planning to do a little drifting. Why else would you do everything in your power to reduce traction? ON a side note, those IS300 guys sure are a nasty bunch. They sure tore into "one of their own" and it makes me appreciate our forum more and more!
