Ok, tires good to better than most folks with the problem.  I know the lanes attract all the water instead of draining it off.  Stupid idea with studs there mister engineer.  So you have the tires, the power and the only thing you can do is add weight.  Start collecting all those crazy weights they put in the front bumpers of the cars.  Or hang sand bags off the hood. 

Just going to have back that boost down a bit I'm afraid to say it.  oh i just did.

Well the other option is to use a light foot when it rains.  And I don't see that as an option in an area that gets over 100 inches of rain a year.  So, it is either back er down or back er down.  Else you end up off road and that is not a good option either.

Drive safe whenever.  hate to lose the flavor you add to the stew here.

He would shrivel up like a toad out on the desert.  We Oregonians are real prone to sun and lack of moisture.  Ever see a slug try to cross the road or even the driveway?  Generally only make it when it is raining.
