    You would love it here. Avg rainfall in Mobile, Al is 67 inches.

    Plenty of mud to off road in.

    Haha I did the exact same thing! Was downpouring in Huntington Beach, and since there's no off roading here to speak of, I had to play in the puddles!

    Ah, I did that a few times too, but there was so much water splashing on the windshield I couldnt see anything, kinda freaked out a little and had to slow down.

    Hell yes. I'm in fountain valley. I was puddle mudding on the way home tonight. I sent a tidal wave over some lady's car at Ward and Garfield around four. Good times.

    Since we don't get it that often, There's just something about the rain that is so fun to us SoCal folks.

    Didn't look at the weather forecast... Washed the truck this morning. An hour later went out to wax her and it was raining.:frusty:

    Though I do normally enjoy a little Cali rain.
