And I'll add that years of playing driving videogames, preferrably with a wheel, has really helped me overcome the instinctual freakout the first time a car goes squirrley on you - your heart will jump if you're not used to it - but with time you learn to feel it and roll with it.

 

Just don't drive. Park the car in the garage and visit it occasionally.

 

Blasphemy!!!!

 

all the cars me, and my family own are rwd. we have one that has that 4x4 mode or whatever but when it comes to rwd

dont accelerate through turns in the rain.

Dont ever pull that e brake. unless your parking(manula trans).

dont get up on it in the rain, you wont just chirp second, you will spin and it can throw you sideways.

if you have time, and it starts raining let it rain for a little while. driving while it starts to rain is the worst time to drive, thats when all the oils come out of the little pores in the road.

Not just in a RWD, but any car in the rain - put a little more distance between you and the car in front of you because you can't stop as quickly.

 

If you are going WOT don't brake in the turn, brake before the turn.
NEVER panic and close your eyes

 

yea dont get stir crazy on the gas in a turn in the rain. and remember don't always just let out of the gas complteltley but slowly feather it out.

 

Good one - not to sound like an old fart, but after I myself got rear-ended in another car I started leaving more following distance, and I gotta say, my driving stress in traffic has gone down so much.

 

One thing I learned a lot more recently with the supercharger is if the back is fish tailing let off the gas!

 

Take your time in the rain and snow. Fight the urge to go as fast as other people. Remember, you have the nicer car most of the time. You'll probably never understand what some of us mean until you lose control the first time. I used to slip quite a few times in the same area no matter how carefully I drove. I ended up doin a 360 into a wall. It wasn't raining, or snowing. It was black ice.
