Message	I dont drive my car in the rain. I'm not too worried about my ability but rather other people on the road. Espically in the first rain of the season.... there tend to be at least 10-15 accidents across your average large city on the first rain. Another reason not to drive a sports car during the rain is the width of the tires. As with many owners on here aftermarket wheels are a common item. A wider tire will cause the vehicle to hydroplain much easier then a narrow tire. This is just a little warning for those with wide tires.
