Default Driving in the rain, all systems check

I must say since day one I've been in love with this car. I've been in 1 accident, and seceral dozen near misses on the trails and she hasn't failed me. Sure it has its quirks but hey, it's still an amazing car.
I live in socal so people here are afraid of sprinkles and today we had some moderate rain and sure enough several cars were in major accidents on the freeway. So as I continue on my way I come up to my exit and I found my self driving through a huge puddle of water at 60 mph. Almost ripped the wheel outa my hands and it managed to jerk the car quite a bit. After swerving a few lanes over and watching the dash TC light come on and feel the aBS do its job, I slid off the road and into the mud and did a 0 degree "U" turn And after sliding around and finally regaining control of the car I get out to look at everything and it's all good to go. I hop back in and get back on the road and continue to work.
And the best part was the faces of everyone who just saw it happen. Priceless.

Hey bro.
Now come on.
YOU KNOW BETTER...

First rain in So Cal. - you STAY off the road.
Until the fools all crash it up.

No one is going to slow down in So Cal for rain anyway.
And, there is OIL on the road from the ghetto cars all with tinted windows
and lord knows what else.

When the rain hits all dat
It'll mess you up.
In a hurry.

You need a hard hard rain
to clear that of the freeways..

Been there - done that.
