the only fast drivers in wet weather in CA are the noobs who don't realize that the rain releases all the oil that accumilates on the road through out the summer.

I used to live back east, and I will tell you this. In the right conditions, that combination of wet greasy road can be slicker than black ice on a cold winter night.

they (the noob drivers) either figure it out, crash, or scare the crap out of themselves and then they slow down. idiots... 9 times out of ten they have VA or MD plates too...

If you start to slide during cornering, the worst thing you can do is ease the gas. You were lucky this time!

Anyone know a decent car wash that can accomodate lowered cars in S.D.? I've been going to the self service ones but it just doesn't seem to come out as clean. So far I've been shot down by the carwashes at:

Fletcher Pkwy and Baltimore
Washington and Jamacha
Bradley and Magnolia
Campus Car Wash on El Cajon Blvd and Montezuma

I'm glad somebody else noticed that. The Evo is "stab and steer".
