Had the car aligned Wednesday and it's much better. The toe in the rear was too far in causing it to move around in the back over the bumps. That may explain the squirmmy feeling I got at the track...

I don't drive in the winter and try to drive on nice days but I don't stress if I'm caught in the rain. I just like it to stay clean too. I look at it as a reward for a nice day.
