public service announcement.

Well figure I'd warn newbies after a quick lesson. OK your car is a tad light. 4 brand new bfg t/a tires 215/60/14. Driving @ 80 in a mild rain no warning the *** decided to race my front. Down the grass medial strip back across the highway and down over the shoulder. The whole time she was trying to roll. No damage other than ruined Haynes. Figure I'd warn people to ease up. First time ever I spun out. Excuse me while I poop some more blue valour.

I have to say that a part of me LOVES how eager our cars are to break the rear loose. And when it happens it is very easy to control, unless you made a big mistake...such fun cars.

But yeah, horrible in the lightest of rain/snow

Oh I totally know. Its fun when your making their tail wag. This dam thing turned cannibal lecter on me. Stuck on a damp road behind a semi went to pass with a big *** Chevy shoveing me down the fast lane. Hit the clutch soon as I felt it go loose. Really wish I could upgrade the wiper motor hi is like intermittent on my suby. Can't see a dam thing!!! Wonder if the 83 cycles any faster lol. Know the govt was going stupid with safety requirements around then. Lol
