Now the car is ruined. I hear Z's can't do the rain. Now you can never say "always garaged, never seen the rain" like every corvette ad says!!!! LOL Looks good, that silver is growing on me!!

They wet these cars down at the factory after they are built to make sure there are no leaks + they go for a drive in them at the factory test track after they pass all the inspections.

Trust me, they don't stop driving them out on the course because BG has a forecast for rain in the weather so don't worry about it. Drive it when you want to just be careful if the conditions aren't favorable.

BTW, car still look pretty clean even after a little H2O on it.

It's good to know that these cars work in the rain.
Mine has never been wet other than to wash it.

My car was delivered on a rainy crappy day. The pic from my avatar is from the day it was delivered (love that pic). I don't believe it has seen rain since.
