I don’t know this for a fact (as I’ve heard people saying this but haven’t actually been “officially” informed) but…this has been the rainest year FUCKING EVER. Seriously. What the hell is up with this? Rain rain rain…every day. Yeah, we’ve had a couple days of sunshine but are rare and not often enough.

And these days I’m driving that Dakota. It’s a cool truck. It runs great, sounds bad ass (in a couple ways) and does just what I need it to do. In other words it’s just fast enough to get in some trouble. And with that light rear end…power on oversteer is extremely easy.

But there is a problem. You see, it’s a bit too easy. These days, with all this rain, I’m lighting that thing up all OVER the place.

So I’m driving to work today…and it’s fucking POURING. We’re talking wipers on high speed, defroster blasting, both hands on steering wheel, radio is off so I can give full concentration pouring rain. And I needed that extra level of concentration.

I was doing 45 on the freeway. 45 MPH. That’s weak. But damn…even then it was sketchy. I was all over the road…I tried changing lanes at one point and the rear end stepped out a good 2-3 feet. Ease off gas…gather up the slide…let it correct…back on gas once under control. Insane.

I need new tires.

Or…

I NEED SUNSHINE!

Oh yeah…Easter at work was nuts. We had 380ish people come in. I worked the line (did expo). Oh, you don’t know what that means? Sigh…looks like another post is in the works.
