Almost lost it a couple times tonight driving from Oceanside back to San Diego. It was pouring down tonight on the 5 between 9-10. It was bad. Buddy of mine sucked up water in a HUGE puddle, luckily I didn't get any in. *phew* He blew some white smoke out his exhaust a couple seconds after the puddle. This thing was huge... Like 3-4 feet deep or somethin. No joke.

I did do one fun loop though. Getting off my exit, no cars around, figured I'd loop her around once. 3 wide lanes with plenty of room to play.

Hydroplaning FTL indeed. My front tires are pretty bald so that was scary tonight. I was driving like 45 on the freeway at times because I just could NOT keep my car still.
