Default If your town has a water shortage, I can help.

That's right folks. If you live in an area that's been through a drought, PM me. I can give you the rain that you need. Here's how it works. The Corvette is my secondary car. It seems every time I take it our after the last time I washed it, Mother Nature makes it pour at one point of my trip. As I write this, the sun is breaking out but only after it poured for 20 minutes while I was driving before. Prior to that, it was sitting for 2 weeks under the cover in the garage right after it was washed.

As a good samaritan, I am willing to tour the country to visit any drought ridden towns and bring the much needed rain to you. All I ask is that your town pays for the hand car washes, fuel and depreciation costs. Thank you.

This thread made me laugh as it always rains after I wash too.

It's rained every day (and snowed four time) since October 1st except for five days here in Portland Oregon.

This winter sucks!

We can use you in OKC.

I hate washing mine and my wife's Vettes and then it sprinkles just enough to make the cars dirty again.

After you finish up in Ok and NJ, come on down to Fl, we've been pretty dry this winter, and we're going into our dry season. We could use a good soaking.
Sounds like a decent cruise.
PS. It's spring break so call ahead for accommodations.

So I hear. My buddy lives in Fort Lauderdale. He tells me it's absolute insanity during spring break. He refuses to go to the beach, and the traffic is like a parking lot. Here's a pic of the beach from last week he sent me.

Nicely put and funny but as my fellow Washingtonian pointed out, rain is something we could export......

I heard a story about a man who died and went to hell and watched the line of sinners approaching Satan who threw about 1 in 4 on a separate pile while letting the others pass. The man finally got to the front of the line and asked what the pile was about. Satan said they were from Seattle and were too wet to burn.......

We just had some rain the past couple of days, but later this summer, when it doesn't rain much here, I may give you a call.
