Default raining in SoCal-how to enjoy the S

raining in SoCal which is good because we need the rain-so how to enjoy the S while weather is bad??

My first idea is to go test drive at a dealership instead of wetting your own.

He's saying instead of driving his own S, he'll go test drive one at a dealership.

If its just raining sometimes Ill throw the stockers on the rear and find an empty parking lot to have fun in! But if the weather is "bad" ill just leave her at home and drive the beater...

i think as long as you drive very conservative you are fine in the rain. anyone care to disagree? never had an s2000 (yet) but drove a RWD car with summer perf. tires for 2 years and never had problem in rain. just took it down a notch as far as spirited driving.
