    Yesterday we had the rare occurrence of tornados here in Malibu. So I just HAD to hop in the car and drive through the torrential downpour, out to the coast and see it for myself.

    The car lived.

    This morning, I did a little mud whomping on the way to my hiking spot!

    How was your dry day yesterday?

    Those sure are some pretty pictures! That 550 looks so sick.

    I had a hail-like rainstorm open up above me (it was only about a block in size but it was dumping buckets instantly - weird) while driving home from work yesterday. Couldn't see much, couldn't hear anything because of the pummelling sheets of rain, but I know the area well enough that I could get around the next right-hand turn and the plan was to induce the LSD with a quick squeeze of the throttle and be gone from the now quite dangerous and crowded intersection. Well as I rounded the right-hander (green arrow), I noticed two firetrucks blazing towards me going the wrong way in my lane! I jabbed the brakes quickly enough to sharpen my trajectory onto the corner and narrowly avoid the speeding firetrucks, whose drivers pointed and stared sternly as they barrelled past. In the future, brave firefighters, if you see an intersection emersed in a blinding rainstorm, please don't charge into it on the wrong side of the street!

    I love how a Ferrari can drive for hours in the rain and mud and still look gorgeous.
