Get rid of the tires asap.

Get something with more rain grip if you want.

 

youre not alone

welcome to the club

 

Rain = I drive the Dodge hoopty. If I get up and its fairly cloudy the Honda stays at home. Partly because I don't want to drive it in the rain and partly because I don't like to put the top up.


I have had the thing in the rain twice. Drove it like a granny.

 

thats cool but not everyone has the luxury...there are a lot of people where the s is there only car...

 

^true

man that sucks! sorry to hear glad you and the wifey are ok!

 

Make sure to take tire tread measurements today.

Oh yeah and do it with the TIRE OFF THE CAR.

:-)

 

Glad you are ok.... and consider yourself lucky and take care next time. Your lesson is cheaper than many.

 

you guys are 100% correct, at least nothing happened to us. my wife didnt say one word from the time we hit to the time we got home. i do have a second car, an 05 crv, and to think of it we almost took it instead but didnt because it didnt have gas and i didnt want to stop and get some. looking for a bumper has been a biatch.

 

Another one.

I go 55-45 on the highway in a downpour or I pull over.

I'm constantly pulling over to the shoulder to let people go by, I could care less how fast I get there, so long as I repect that others can and will move faster than me in the rain.

If your wipers need to be on the high setting you need to drop your speed on the highway to no more than 55. If it sounds like people banging a drum on your top 45. If you can bearly see, GTF off the road.

 

the thing is it wasnt raining anymore, the road was just wet from some light rain just minutes before. I have been in downpours and i do pull over. The other thing too is, i accelerated to to get in front of the car next to me because the lane merged to just one so at the time i was only doing like 40mph .. i guess my rwd skills just need to be improved.
