hahahahahahahahahah!!!!

I always felt safe in my expedition in heavy rains. I didn't speed though.

I thought heavy car - no hydroplaning. I had crazy issues with my integra, my civic and every other car slipping and sliding on wet roads. Not the expo though.. 7,000 curb weight.

use ur own car, get ur own gf, and foggy mountain is between LV and LA if ur chick can clear the shift stick, u'll both do fine h:

hydroplanning has to do with curb weight to an extent.... but it has mostly to do with all your shitty tires :db:

I ran summer-only ultra high performance tires year round which combined with the super stiff suspension made for a dangerous ride, but the integ and civic are paperweights and slip and slide in any standing water.

The expedition had big tires with lots of tread blocks (tall and deep) effectively cutting through the water.

So. Cal drivers.............oooh it's even better when they disregard the low-beams altogether and leave them on high at night. The people often look like douchbags or it's some broad yapping away on her cell phone

I liked using the yellow foglights in perfectly clear weather. Aim them a little on the high side and watch for the birdies!
