Rain.. yeah
So it's probably going to Rain this weekend. remember not to use your Cruise Control during the rainy season because you'll run a high risk of an accident. Rain + Cruise Control = Hydroplaning=accident. Just letting ya'll know.

with cruise control and hydroplaning, you'll end up going 10 to 15 mph fasterthan what your set speed was. might be serious in an accident

lol well I don't even use my cruise control like at all... I feel like it uses and wastes more gas and not efficient enough compared to driving conservatively like I do these days (gas prices).
Just wanna say everyone be safe and cautious on the road especially with a predicted rain forecast!

Wow, what a bunch of pansies! An entire thread devoted to the coming of rain...go the NW forum, I GUARANTEE there isn't a thread about rain! Ha...damn Californians...
Sorry....I miss Seattle.
BTW, have never heard of it being a bad idea to use CC in rain...what would you all do if it snowed?!

haha the only reason I worry about rain is because of all the other dumb ***** that don't know how to drive in it. I've seen to many idiots lose control on the freeway, first rain or not, because they think it's still a good idea to go 80 on a sharp turn with tires that should have been replaced before LAST winter.
Rain, snow, fire... it's all the same to me, don't ride the persons tail in front of you and don't speed = you'll survive
