I don't think I've EVER had more fun in the rain (STi's first real rainstorm)

Anyone else having as much fun as me? This is my STi's first rainstorm so it's been GREAT out there with my new RS2 tires and new suspension upgrades! Out of my 3 subies, this has been the easiest to drive in the rain without oversteering or understeering too much with the diff in the proper setting and some decent tires it's like the first snow of the season when you're 8 years old!

Yeah its a blast for sure. I had to stop myself from taking the STI mudding at the end of last week after that big storm.
On Wednesday my street was acutally flooded, had a ton of water in the driveway and all the way into my garage and couldn't get my Subie out . [Ask Danielle she saw the pic] Since my truck is still in the shop I had to drive my brothers '77 Blazer around. It is lifted with some huge *** tires on it I drove it to town and ended up helping a few stranded motorists along the way.
But I should get my truck back today so I cant wait for lots more rain and mud! I miss my truck
Sorry was probably too much of a rant...

Hello! It's cuz it's true! Ive only been here for around 10 years (A little over actually). Damn, thinking about that, it's really sad... I've spent more then a 1/3 of my life as part of a Subaru forum/community.


As sad as that sounds, I don't think I've ever been around better people (in general). I have met some of the coolest people both online and in person over the decade... Some of my best friends are from this site, easily some of the best people I know.

It's easy to get along with most everyone (in real life) as we all share a common interest and as hard as it is to believe, we're def the most mature of any car group I've ever belonged to... We say some lame stuff online sometimes and razz each other but when we all get together in real life people are really chill and really cool. This site has a lot of history and I'm proud to have been part of it right from the beginning.

yea as long as you aren't on the stock tires its amazing. Whats really amazing is how it performs in snow with the front diff locked. You can't fishtail.
