Rain does not hurt the cars and never having been driven in the rain means nothing to me, other than it does not get used much if you live up here.

When I sell my vette, I'm gonna say it has never seen rain, never had a passenger in the seat, never had anything in the cargo area, never been jacked up, never been filled with aftermarket fuel, and has been Zaino'd every 2 days. I should be able to get INSANE prices for it.

I was going across the Howard Franklin (I275) with the targa off and spotted a Pelican gliding along side the bridge railing about 15 feet above the road. He (though I would lay odds it was a she) turned across the road above me and unloaded. I was actually blinded for a moment until I could remove my Pelican dropping covered sunglasses. The collateral damage and spray covered most of the steering wheel and instrument pod. If only they would allow a season on Pelicans and shooting from a moving vehicle.....

When I bought my car it was from a guy in Bellingham. I told him if he drove to Everett to meet me at the bank (50 miles) I would drive him home. He said it was cloudy out and may rain. I told him it was raining in Everett. He said "this car has never seen the rain" I said "all the more reason I want the car" It is my DD and sees a lot of rain

It may be magical, but you can't really enjoy your car until you drive it like everyone else thinks you should.
