These crash or near crash stories often start with "I had VDC off" in the first sentence.

i wonder how people used to drive when there was NO traction control and the likes? those days when big hp+RWD=FUN! now it's like, it's the most dangerous thing on earth or something.
maybe with better technologies/safety nets, people just dont know how to drive anymore..

oh and im NOT old...am 24, does not claim to be a pro in driving or anything...but just a thought.

Is there a correlation/link between RWD cars and more accidents in the rain? Or the stats are the same for all cars regardless?

Slow in terms of performance designed cars, yes. However, it takes way less than 300 hp + RWD to prove your an idiot driver in the rain.

I let off and I'm facing the signal light but the @ss is still out to the left. I got to get on it just a little bit and the end kicks out again and then the car start sliding and point to the side walk. the curb is about 8 inch tall so I would have fuked up my front end. luckily I steered it out to safety. I was about 3-6 inches away from the curb. haha thats why I don't drive in the rain. and next time i'll leave vdc on, when the ground is wet.

"So I punch it..."
Theres your problem. Don't mash the gas when it rains out.
