"Now I won't claim I got back 10 HP or anything, but coming up a hill that I always take to work, I was accelerating in 3rd gear when the rear wheels broke loose at 2800 RPM, causing a nice little powerslide (which I caught, thankfully before I passed the cop who had pulled somebody over on the other side of the hill). Ok, so it is raining today, but let me just say that I've never done that in the rain on this hill before"
You've never lost traction in the rain before? Even on a hill?
