GSAWD fun to drive in the (heavy) rain!
Hi Folks,
'Just a quick new report here...
It's been pouring here in SoCal area lately and let me tell you driving in the rain with GSAWD is so much fun! 'Pretty much scooting around vehicles on long, zigzagging roads looking like stand still on a heavy pour!
Another thing of note, I used to dislike the OEM Bridgestone tires that came with it because it's loud but when it is wet, the GS feels like it's on rails - it goes where you point it (using staggered wheels setup), I mean way past 80mph on at least an inch water soaked and wet for days roads!
But then again, I never recommend anybody driving their GS or any vehicle irresponsibly because I never do - have some great fun but always be safe out there. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you and your families!!!

great post, i love having fun with my cars over 30 years of driving...
two things i learned 20 years ago that stayed with me
4 wheel drive, new tires, x drive, sw awheel drive, audi quatrro etc etc never prevents hydroplaning. and your excursions will end up in a inch of rain into not so fortunate fun day with the awd
awd does nothing with ice so same cavalier driving will end up with a not so good xmas present
just 2 cents take it for what it is
cheers
