Just a pretty sight
On my way to work this morning I was following a really pretty late C4 torch red coupe. Four red tail lights gleaming through the spray from the his/her wide 275's, and the down pour from above just bouncing harmlessly away from this shiney fiberglass.
It's really wet 1st rain in the Bay Area today, and I thought the guy/gal was couragious and stupid all at once. But it sure was fun to watch, as I missed driving my car. I was in my truck. Far too many stupid drivers in the SFBA, and even more when it rains, but I had his/her rear, and no one was gonna hurt that vette as long as i was behind him/her.
:seeya
I big wave to that vette owner as I never got along side him/her to wave. (S)He probably wouldn't have looked at my Durango anyway.
Just thought i'd share.
Have a great day all.
:cheers:

I don't usually drive my Vette when it rains either. If I do it's nice to know I might have a fellow member like you to watch my back. :cheers:

Re: Just a pretty sight (spineshank)
I don't see anything wrong with driving in the rain. I do it all the time. Its a car; it was meant to be driven in the rain. If it wasn't, then they wouldn't have given it windshield wipers. :lol:
