I've been getting annoyed at "slow" drivers. Why can't they all just stay in the slow lanes and let the guy with AWD through? :(
Yeah mostly its other retarded driver, I couldn't count how many idiots i would see gas it hard and charge through these huge collection puddles and then a mile down the road be pulling over with engine trouble. I noticed my car was kicking up so much water off the back tires at some points it sounded like someone was taking a hose and spraying directly off the canister of my mufflers, i was scared at first when i heard a metallic noise, but then i was able to determine what it was, and just took it easy through the deeper spots.

Sometimes I wish I had a SUV...so that on rainy days like the past few days I can purposely charge into puddles and spray everyone around me.
The sleeve from my downpipe to midpipe on my exhaust gets "loose" due to the rain splashing water onto the pipe and cooling the metal down. Usually the metal from the downpipe is supposed to expand more to tighten the fit on the exhaust sleeve. Sometimes the mid pipe will rattle due to its looseness when I hit the throttle hard.

My friend has a B7 A4, he lost his oil pan cover, guess he went through a pool of water and it pulled it off.

I was driving to the Pomona Tattoo show to get some new Ink in our '06 Elemnt EX-P (AWD) and in the exit lane I hydroplaned all 4 wheels simultaneously, tried to keep her straight and spun across 4 lanes to meet the guardrail. That precipitation precipitated the purchase of a new Audi so Ican't complain. Just gotta sell Honda when insurance finishes fixing it.
as a side note: I am from NC and used to rain, was stationed in MT and am a good snow/ice driver (as good as can be expected) have done numerous track days in various vehicle sof all drivetrain types, and was armed with AWD and STILL lost the car... as did no less than 5 OTHER drivers on the same 1/2 mile stretch of road at the exact same time. 10E at 57fwy just before Cal Poly Pomona.
