My car hates the rain..

Between being lowered and having a super tucked cat-back, my exhaust rattles like crazy when there is too much water on the road. I have to go everywhere at like 40mph to stop water from being thrown on it.

My exhaust is rattlin from the rain too. ITs annoying. Other than that, and hydroplaning, my car handles good. Although, bein so low, im scared that im gonna suck up water in the engine........ So yeah, except for that, my car is great in the rain. =)
