Kevin,

Sorry to hear about your incident and I'm glad to hear you're OK. When you wrote the following...

"...Now, as for the rainy night of the incident, what would you do? Would you have me sit behind the car going 20mph while everyone else drives by at 40-50 mph."

I suppose in retrospect, I think that would have been the thing to do.

I think the one thing we can all learn from this incident is that NSX are not the best in wet weather. The very thing that makes these cars handle so well on dry surfaces (mid-engine - low polar moment of inertia) also makes them skittish on wet roads.

I don't normally drive my NSXs or Corvette in the rain, but when I do, I creep along at speeds much less than most would consider prudent.

Jim
