I just had to pick the car up from the shop today, and it's horrible weather. I picked up some new windshield wiper blades before hand and my little nissan sentra was barely getting traction, but picking up my car I didn't lose traction once.

I mean, he's got an IRS, you really have to be an idiot to dump the clutch or something in a 400+hp car in the rain. Unless he was running something like MT's, I can't see any reason his car would me more wreckable than any other.

not to mention I don't see any snow in the picture

I agree with AZ, why do people drive like that in bad weather. Makes no sense.

Mine is absolutely fine with regular old BFG's on there as long as you don't crack the throttle open more than 30%.

It's the driver, not the car. I've seen 700hp corvettes drive in the rain without any problems whatsoever

It was 100% the guys fault, as cold as it was he should've never floored it. It was a stupid mistake on his part. It doesn't take much for these cars to jump sideways when it's this cold.

As for the sidescoops, they were ripped off. There were parts all over the place.

And yeah I can understand my mom flipping out, it was the only other car in the area that looked like mine. Oh well, my car goes back to being one-of-a-kind looking lol ;-)
