My Vette was wet
It is about 70 here right now. I went out to go for a short ride and took the cover off. Everything was just wet. The wheels, tires, inside and even the steering wheel was wet from condensation. Went for a short ride to dry everything off. Came home and even the garage floor was wet. This weather is crazy. It is going back into the 30s this weekend.

Its is all caused by those hot rod corvettes you guys are building. 
Glad you were able to get it out and drive it.

Usually it is on the cool side this time of year, but was in the low 80s today. Big West to East storm coming tonight and then temps in the 50s. for the weekend.
My car is staying in the garage at least until next week.

Condensation is a very real problem. It's a lot different from washing the car or getting caught in the rain. Condensation will occur everywhere, like inside the gauges and engine, in the seats, under the carpet, the list goes on. The only real way to stop it is keep the surfaces warmer then the dewpoint of the air...

I don't mind it gettig wet I was just saying how damp everything was from just sitting in the garage. My tires actually had water beads on them from just sitting. The wheels had water on them also. It was a very humid day here and the temps went up so fast eveything just got condensation on it. A short drive dried everything out. Makes me want to put heat in the garage.

I'm going to run right out and check for water beads on my tires. Oh wait, I made it to the thermometer and it says 28 below zero. 
Maybe there is no condensate right now. 
The air temp 100 miles west of here in Aberdeen is 35 below zero, wind chill is 54 below zero. Now that's cold.
