Default Cold + rain = be careful
Just a friendly reminder to take it easy gentlemen. Our first really cold, rainy night in a long time- I had a quick oh fvck moment coming out of my company parking lot and making a U-turn without paying too much attention.

Certainly tightened up the boys for a second.

This weather is fun... I was coming back from some beezy's house tonight and pulled some sick drifts (more like me spinning out bad) in a rain filled parking, it was fun. Too bad that finally put my rear tires in the I have no tread left territory... Hey, at least my keys arnt stuck in my trunk any more

I highly reccommend shifting south of ~4K-5K. Also, remember that even if it's sunny, your tires get very cranky (read: glassy and grip less) south of ~50 degrees.

Drive, but drive carefully.

Maybe the only upside is that MPG will rise...until I get stuck in a traffic jam
