Weather.com shows a 70% chance of rain, are we on rain or shine?

Exactly, it's nothing. I've driven the treacherous Decker Cyn. (Westlake Village to Malibu through Santa Monica Mtns. and back) numerous times in torrents and pre-mudslide conditions. It was nothing, so this will be like kids jumping in sidewalk puddles...

Yeah but back in the day when I was a minitrucker, the slightest hint of rain and some peeps would not take out their "babies".

Yeah we're gonna have to ease-off the "NFS Carbon" mentality bigtime for the rain. Let's just have a chilled run and get to know the road. Oh yeah and I recommend everyone check their treads today or tomorrow to get a better idea how slow to drive, just to be safe. See you Saturday!

The first time I drift my yaris was about 6 months ago if you lived in the LA area then you know were the 10 west meets the 710 north near Cal State LA and how it has that really big turn. Well anyways one day comming home from work it was about 11:15 pm. I was comming to the turn like always but I wanted to see if I can drift my yaris so I pulled the E-break and turn the wheel to the right and hit the gas hard. I think I was going about 55 or 60 mph on the turn the hole car turn side ways and I could hear the wheels. Man that was fun but I know I wouldn't do it again The yaris is to light of a car.
