What tires are you running again? Or was there just a lot of standing water?

It was 25 miles of driving through a monsoon downpour.. I'm talking rivers flowing down the highway.
My butthole was so tight.. it was amazing.

I'm on Eagle F1 A/S 2s... par with Conti DWs in the wet.

Mine refuses to drive mine. She says she can't see out the back at all.

My buddy rented a Chally R/T.. said something like it was fun but couldn't see anything.
I told him.. you don't need to see your side or rear when you have a go pedal in front of you.
He thought about it.. and completely agreed.

I didn't expect it to rain yesterday.. it was crazy indeed.
Lightning was everywhere too.. what makes it worse is Texans don't know how to drive in anything but dry.

Funny but the roof line does dicta(s)te that I have to kinda squat down to see out the back...
usually just enough to see the person's face as I leave them behind.

That might be the issue. She sits very straight up to drive and I sit more reclined back.

My wife can drive it whenever she wants to and I ask her all the time, that was the main reason I didn't get another 6MT in case she wanted to drive it. But it makes no sense for her to use it to go shopping / run errands or use it for work. Besides it not as though she is driving a beater around, she's driving a brand new Q7 so believe me she's not complaining.
