Default Driving in the rain, it's an adventure!

Traction in the rain is really getting to be a problem! It's been raining all day here, when I went ot get my son from school, the truck really wanted to get squirelly. I was spinning it seemed right when I would step on the gas, spin in 2nd and some in 3rd. I was really trying to be easy on the gas too! I don't have close to the fastest truck around, I don't know how you guys with REALLY fast trucks drive in the rain with out wrapping it around a tree.

I think a lot of us experience this. I am glad I have traction control because I have almost lost control in the rain at 70 driving normal. It kicked in and put me straight. Rain is fun at 20, not 70!
