Glass Cleaner... A must have while traveling, especially through Oklahoma and Texas! Yes, it's in the trunk with all the other stuff I packed.

Remember when the speed limit was 55?

The JägerMobile is going to get wet.

I just drove through the hardest rainfall in my life. Florida and Louisiana have nothing compared to the down-pours of New Mexico! Cars were pulled over in both lanes; the water was at least 2" deep on the hill! I bet there was over 12" of rain fall within 10 minutes. The JägerMobile got a thorough cleaning top side and bottom side.

When I drive in rain, I have to slow down to 40-45mph because it feels like my car is hydroplaning at 50mph+. It always feels like it is steering itself away and like I am about to lose control of the car. I was thinking this happens since the front of the car is lighter. Tires are in great condition. I think they were new when I bought the car 9 months ago.

Is this feeling normal? Or is it safe to drive faster? This is in normal rain. Middle Speed setting for wipers.

Leaving upsate NY tomorrow for Freeport Maine, then to Prince Edward Island and home by way of Bar Harbor Maine. Really excited to drive along the coast.
