Default I have a BIG problem!!!!!

I drove my 06 vert to work today and we had a storm move in and now it's raining.
What should I do?
Does the 06 have windshield wipers?

Kinda a moot point if you don't put your top up.

The most important thing to do is not panic. You can get through this. First and foremost, use the 800 number on your side window and dial GM Roadside assistance. They will help you get the car home and in one piece.

Oh I would be cussing up a blue streak. I don't mind the car getting wet as much as getting the wheels and the wells dirty. It takes me hours to get them just right.

Take a cab home. Do not attempt to move the vehicle under such extreme driving conditions.

quick, call your insurance company and advise that that it has flood damage. they will write it off and salvage it.
With the cash you can buy a new one.....

Just relax, you will be fine.

You do have wipers, that is assuming they have not dry rotted away.
Hopefully you are parked in a garage, that way you will not get any wet foot prints inside the car.
If that happens there is a cure. Let it dry out a bit and trade in for another VETTE that has not been mistreated by being in the rain.

No rain in AJ. You must have done something bad.

DO NOT PANIC. Take a taxi to the grocery. Buy a case of Pam. Spray the entire car, top and bottom. The rain will not stick. Next nice day, give it a good washing.

I even like to wash it on a rainy day. That way it doesn't dry until I get it back in tha garage.

Yes. They will send an enclosed auto transporter and lecture you on the use of the weather channel.

if the vette is covered in the lot, i would consider sleeping over, at your work, you may also consider asking a fellow female employee to share the office space with you, may make the evening go by faster.....
