just be careful, my friends BF spun out on an onramp yesterday. not sure how bad he damaged his s14. definitely makes your butt hole pucker when the car slides out on you unexpectedly.

just use your brain when youre driving. if youre going to drive like an idiot in that kind of weather you should be able to accept the consequences.

I drove the S in snow earlier this year. Also, in MD you get some crazy bad rainstorms in the summer and spring and I drive the S daily. In the rain i like to turn off the radio and listen to the rain pounding the top.

people on this forum are driving their S in snow, yet some think its some sort of blasphemy to bring it out in the rain? i just dont get it
That's SoCal people for you. A few drops and they're all

They need to encounter some real rain like the stuff we get here or what Florida people deal with.

crap should I swap out my Fujita CAI or do you guys run this is mild socal rain?
See? A lot of us here in Houston run with F5's and don't swap them out when it rains. Take it easy and stay out of the big puddles and flash flooding (if you even get those).

Now it you're talking hurricanes or Tropical Storm Allison flooding:

That's when we do keep the S garaged.

instead of wetting your own.
Did you not purchase the "pre-shrunk" S2000 option? I did. When mine gets wet, I don't think it shrinks hardly at all.
