Default S2000 drives like champ in severe storm

Got stuck in that severe storm with high winds and rain in NW Ohio. Thankfully no hail. Many were pulled over or going very slow. The S2000 had no spinning, no loss of traction, unaffected by the wind. Stuck to the road like glue. Have no fear if anyone gets stuck in rain. This car can handle it. Lightning in a convertable is slightly unnerving though.

The amount of water in the secret compartment was shocking. Still a great time though

I didnt even recognize Jumbalius car aka " Wade" in that pic. Irony is that I used to own that 2002 Suzuka Blue. It had a salvage title from flood damage, lol. It is no stranger to water. I had it a month and sold it so Jumbalius. I never drove one in the rain. I love my AP2!!!

I got soaked that day and had the time of my life plus I'm pretty sure that my interior should be dry soon! :-))
