Default What's up with the weather?

I know we need some rain to keep Hawaii green, but this is ridiculous.
Anyone recall having such a long wet spell?
The thunder and lightning are cool though.

Every time I drive in the heavy heavy stuff (like 0 visibility type) I'm cursing the heavy rains! Also, I find it pointless to wash my car! Grrrrrr, is there ANY end in sight to this madness?? hahaha

hahaha now you guys have to experience what I had to deal with for 18 years living in Washington State......

But yeah I'm tired of this rain....My car has gone 3 weeks without a wash. The only clean part is the trunk I got from Nate because he washed his car last week some time.

I thought the AP2s are better in the rain because of suspension and 17" wheel changes? Are you running stock suspension and tires (RE050s)?

Since this will be my only car here, I am kinda scared driving in the rain. Any tips on how to go about it here?

just keep on the wax and wipe the car down after you drive
are ap1s more squirly even going straight?
anyway just use common sense when driving. if you follow the speed limit then most times your car will be just fine unless you have bald or just plain junk tires.
or you can be like me and use the rain and have fun!
