I've about had it with our weather!!!!!!!!
Ever since I bought the Corvette it's rained just about every weekend.
Rained last night, forecast for rain today and tomorrow... Damn!!
Rant over... Carry on.

I live in on the Suncoast (gulf coast) of Florida and although the winter is absolutely beautiful for driving convertibles, the summer weather is very unpredictable as storm clouds can literally pop up in a matter of minutes. There have been times I have been driving top down in brilliant sunshine when suddenly, I'm in the middle of a rainstorm.

Been raining for weeks, I've had the car out 3 times so far this year for about 3 hours worth of driving. Hopefully next weekend our long weekend I can get it out...

I parked my car on the outside of the St. Armands circle show and came back to a full load on my top and windshield. Neither cars on each side of me were hit. Talk about precision! Must have been a Mustang owner in a former life...

How about you just drive the vette and enjoy it instead of worrying about a bit of rain. I'd rather drive my car in the rain and bitch about having to clean it after, than rant about not driving it. Just my .02, feel free to throw it back at me.

I would LOVE to move there! Get me a green card & a job & I'd be there in a heartbeat!
I feel for you brother. I heard the Saddledome had water up to row 10!!!
Stay dry & safe.

I hear ya on that but.. for me, it's just not enjoyable to drive in the wet stuff. Top stays up, you know your car is getting dirtier with every block, floor mat gets soaked and you have to drive like a Grandma. At that point I'd rather drive my dd.

My floor mats don't get soaked when I drive in the rain. I have a leak on the drivers side A pillar, but it's worst when parked out in the rain, water seems to blow away when I'm driving. Don't need to drive like a Grandma, just leave the traction control on and don't be ridiculous. Actually pretty fun!!
