Well, I did today. Just would rather drive my other car on undesirable days... I am too eagar to drive aggressive. I have a ticket already for running a stop sign, lol.I used to drive a miata and was prone to loosing grip in the rear in the rain.

I am thinking of taking a few hour trip and would like to do it on a nice day.

Yeah, I did the same the first day I drove it because of the rain. I have no worries on a dry day, but you have to love her with a slow hand when it rains.

Well, I was trying to figure out why it was brought up as well. I asked if it was in considerations for a meet or if it was just a location one of the members lived.
