:I'm sorry to hear that.
:This car is not designed to be driven on wet roads. What? So what kind of roads is it designed for? It is not repeat NOT a 'fault' of the car design. It is driver inexperience and possible worn/balding/loose/non-inspected parts. :It is extremely dangerous. Especially if you accelerate
:really fast, the car is very likely to get out of control. Drive according to conditions. If you hammer it everywhere, you're gonna get pasted sooner or later. Learn how your vehicle responds in wet/snow/ice. Why are you accelerating fast in the rain? :Driving in snow is out of question. Handling is not great
:anyways..... I daily drive a TT in the winter (see sig.) I drove my NA for 2 years in the winter. I drove a s-13 240SX in the winter. I drove my RWD Chev 1/2 ton in the winter. In the rain. In the sunshine. During ice storms. I changed to winter tires and kept my vehicles mechanically sound. Above all, I learned how to drive in winter/rain/adverse conditions. Last item: coming to work on Wednesday, during a morning snowstorm, I downshift and stop for a red at an icy intersection. The Subaru Forester driven by Soccer Mom comes flying up to the light in the other lane and locks up the binders at the last minute. ABS pumpin', she comes to rest halfway out into the intersection. Traffic had cleared, thank God. "But the vehicle is AWD, it's built for these conditions."
Winter? all the better for drifting practice:
