-> Almost lost control on I-215 as I did a F1-style hydroplaine and the car almost wiggled out of control, but luckily I caught it at the right moment. Might need to change my tires now.

I've never been to Austria...but, I hear it's awesome.
Don't know how we got "Raning" in Vegas though.
If I knew what J-tuns were, I'd be able to join in your love for them.
unless, of course, you mean, "Raining" and "u-turns"?

^ I hear ya! On my situation, I was doing 75-80mph with =TOP DOWN=. It was dry when I entered I-215 from Eastern so all is good right?....by the time I passed the Warm Springs exit, I encountered a HUGE downpour similar to this:
^ And noticed that the traffic slowed down, so I was getting wet and WHOA!!!! The car wiggled horrendously! If that was an ordinary driver, he/she would've spun out and crashed. The car was already 45-50 degrees going sideways back-and-forth 4 times on a straight line!!!
