I've been wet a bunch of times. Either caught in a storm or taken off into it because I was on the way to an event. I always try to drive through and it works well until the rest of traffic slows down.
I run 17's and will go back to Goodyear GS-D3s shortly, great tire in the rain. They will still hydroplane, 90 & puddles are real interesting, but generally work very well.
As Bill Wells said earlier if you don't have whitecaps on the puddles on the floor you're doing something wrong or just not having any fun.
I've found that if you peg that big instrument on the dash at about a 100% most of the water goes over the top.
I've even been out in the winter. Roads were fairly clear and didn't figure out why is was so cold until I got home and realized that it was 4 degrees, the sun was shining though. I was as red as my stripes.
Forgot to mention I hate my top and won't put it up until there is absolutely no other choice. Good thing I don't melt.

I'd have to agree with Sal, in Florida you don't know when it'll hit... End of the world rain for 30mins. then a sauna for the next 3 hours. Typically between noon and five every day in the spring / early summer.
You've got maybe 10mins. from when you first see the clouds...

...try to avoid it at all costs. It's not as much the moldy carpeting or cracking leather that sends me screaming into the night,  it's the careening sideways into oncoming traffic at interstate speeds that sends the real shivers.  My M/T 315 drag radials tend to hydroplane even if there's just a light dew on the tarmac..

I never drive in the rain. Its pretty easy to check weather.com to be
safe before heading out if the conditions are questionable.
Greg does it rain in Az?
