Driving In Rain

[Trey T]

How do y'all guys determine the braking distance when driving in the rain?

I don't get it.
Why so many folks won't drive their Boxsters in the rain.
Wouldn't own a car that can't handle rain, with aplomb.

Or a pair of running shoes, either, for that matter.

Rain sounds good...even 32 degrees sounds good for northern Illinois. Over seventy inches thus far this winter...

+1! Heck, I remember driving in Palm Springs during partial flood 8-9 years ago with good standing water in the freeway and streets, and I am the only one going 70+ mph on the freeway safely and stabley (no hydroplaning)! All the crap suvs were slipping and sliding I really couldn't figure that one out, but that's Porsche engineering for you.

I did the EVO driving school (advanced course) in the most ridiculous rain I have ever been in still to this day. I was so sure they were going to cancel it... you could not see more than six feet in front of you. As soon as i get ther the guy says "Hey you're late! "
Man that was fun.
But on the highway and street in the rain I take it easy...

since you are missing the point, you won't understand it. "Keep moving, nothing to see here"

In the NW we generally stop before we hit the car in front of us. Generally.
