Rainy Days Are Here Again

Rain in Las Vegas is fun. The roads turn into pure chaos.

My poor little trucklet does pretty badly when it's dry. In the rain the thing is impossible. I was trying to get going while stopped on an uphill. Let the clutch out and the tires spin. Zero traction. I shift into second, hoping the lack of torque will stop the sliding. Nope. Eventually I kind of weaseled my way up the hill in second, sliding the rear end around. Guy in the BMW behind me didn't seem amused.

Guy on the sidewalk thought it was funny, though.
