Never fails....
Well months of work and a few thousand dollars in repairs to get my car ready for the yearly car show here and the forecast shows rain.
Talk about a let down

Even if it rains, as long as your seals are good, you'll enjoy it. I've had mine in a couple of shows, didn't get a thing other than the enjoyment of someone admiring my car.

Well its rained so much now without a few days of sun I cant even get out of the yard here......
I almost didn't get back up the driveway with my bmw earlier today. Took the superduty 4x4 when I went out after that.
I guess this is left overs from that hurricane out west?

Oh my led turn signal bulbs came today. Cant put them in but they look nice sitting on my desk
Hids for the driving lights get here tomorrow.
Also the ghost lights that project the corvette logo on the ground when you open the door.
Also the high powered led's for the backup lights, side backup lights and the front turn lights get here tomorrow.
Guess my desk will be quite colorful since I cant install any of it with the monsoon going on.
Did I mention I hate rain.......

That's a bummer. You'll be twice as prepared for next year. If it doesn't rain that is lol. Personally I think I fall within the norm here, that people go to big shows to see the nice garage queens. Nobody brings them out in the rain.

If you're talking about the show the Mississippi club is putting on in Biloxi we were planning to head over too but if it's going to be pouring rain we'll probably sit it out.
Then again if you're the only C4 to show up then you're guaranteed a trophy !!!
