HAHA id LOVE to i HATE getting the vette wet, but its going to happen, might not be too bad the weather chanel is clearing up, that might mean 5 inches of ice.....

Don't take it on the ice. Take a beater.

 

it wont ice but it would be fun in an empty parking lot yea?

I dont like the vette in wet weather, I would much rather take the superduty or bronco, they are both much better in bad weather.

 

Not worth taking the chance with the vette in bad weather. Think how long it took you to get it and now you have it. Borrow the folks car if you can. You'll have plenty of time to drive it and impress your friends!
Be safe.

10% chance of rain....0% chance of driving the Vette!

 

it said it should sprinkle in the morning, but b done b the afternoon, so i guess ill gague it, i hate getting it out n the weather, but......i dont know

Miles

 

I would drive it even if I knew for sure it was going to rain (and I don't ever drive mine in the rain). I remember my prom, just as important to me as the date was the car I drove. I would never have taken the parents car. In all seriousness as far as the rain goes, be sure to put some bath towels behind the seats, if it rains she might want to put them over her lap to keep from getting wet, your car WILL leak.

 

its my first and last prom, thats the only thing thats keeping me from DEFINATLY going in the vette, if it looks cloudy ive skipped school to take the vette home, im thinking ill drive it to prom, i could swich it out after and go with the hundai after it

Prom?? Did he say Prom? Man I'm gettin old

Mine loves rain. It isn't gonna melt.

 

Mine is from Oregon and I drove it every day there it rained almost every day during times other than summer. It will be ok if it does rain. If your seals are bad, you will get a few drips here and there from the T-tops. My windows dont go up all the way, so I have to worry about that. Be careful with the gas as they tend to go sideways. Take a towel, rainx and the rainx deogger for the inside to keep the windows clear. Just think of it as giving her a bath while playing

 

Chevy didn't build them out of sugar or salt, they won't melt.

Three times I can remember faced with driving off to something in the rain.

1. I went to some friends' wedding once, sans date, and it was looking like rain. I took the Corvette anyway. Yes, it rained during the wedding, but it got me worthwhile attention. While at the reception at his parents' house, a few of us were outside talking so I grabbed a chamois and wiped off the water. Looked After dropping off this young lady, I dropped the top on the way home and ran about 120 over Poplar Street bridge back across the Mississippi. A car would have not accomplished any of that.


(with all these Ramblers, you'd think I was in Wisc.)


2. Headed from Illinois to Jonesboro, Ark to visit my sister. Forecast was rain, but I took the '68 anyway. I was very glad I did. I hit about 75 miles of rain on the way down and ran into about 50 miles of rain on the way back, which got me top down. I ran about 40 of that with the top down until I stopped for gas. But I had a blast with it down there, doign things I could have never done in a car. I was very glad I had the Corvette with me, rather than a car.

3. Last space shuttle before Challenger was set to launch, and I decided to run up to see it. Got up at 4, got ready to leave at 4:30 and discovered it raining. I had just washed and waxed the Corvette yesterday, and sure didn't want to get it all wet and dirty so fast. With no break in sight on the rain, I jumped in and blasted up I95 to Cocoa, rain pouring down heavy. By the time I was there, the shuttle launched into a clear dark sky broken by the rising sun and made you just feel great to be alive. I spend quite a bit of the day up there running around, along the beach and all. Taking a car would have ruined the whole day. I'd have never gotten this picture.



Drive the car and save the Corvette for a future generation who may not have a single appreciation for it, or make the day (night) one to remember?

It isn't a hard decision.

 

take your parents car and enjoy the night and your date, otherwise you will be thinking about the car......

 

I agree with that 100%. I LOVE driving it in the rain.

 

i have drivin mine several times in the rain but i don't like doing it. wipers suck, leaks, and gets sideways on just about every turn

 

well........Kaye (the vette) is all "RAIN-X"ed up and ready to go tonight, im going to put the towels in the back and the umbrella, and hav a GREAT time, im leaving in an hour to go get corsage and wut not, and get pics taken.....EVERYWHERE, ill post some picks of everything if u cats want it, ill let you know how everything goes

Miles

 

Have a great time, enjoy yourself and above all, be careful.

 

don't forget, the girl gets the corsage and you pin it on. Unless its my daughter.

 

lol got it!,
