It has not stopped rain here in 5 days and it is going to rain for 5 more. Is this it? Is it the end? Quick, we need 2 vettes from every generation, get them on the ark.

Anyone seen the sun, if so, tell me where to go.

You sure you want to ask US "where to go" ?! :

You can have some of this 100 degree heat wave we had all weekend!

Hot as all freakin' heck here yesterday.

I'll never buy a garage facing west again. It must have been 110* in there when I was trying to swap brake pads...

My brother's name is Noah, so I got quite a kick out of that joke

Here's to hoping the rain stops

80 degrees and we don't expect rain until November! Real estate sure is expensive out here but you just can't beat the weather.

I feel your pain.

We sometimes get weeks and weeks in a row of rain and cloudy skies. We go nuts whenever there's a break in the clouds and the sun shines through for a few minutes... Lots of us remove the roof panels when the sun peeks through even though it may only be ~50 degrees out.

It will get better.

FYI...Vettes don't melt.

It gets dirtier, faster, but that is about it.

if it will make you feel any better, I am the worst and predicting when to wash my car..even keeping an eye on the weather channel I get screwed for example..as of yesterday my Torch REd vette has become a Torch Yellow/RED vette with all the Pollen we have now..I was going to wash/wax yesterday but they called for 30% chance of showers over night..so I said too bad ...last 2 times I tried with with 30% chance it drizzled just enough to FK it up ..welll guess what..woke up today no rain, sunshine and I have a dust coverred car oh well..still just as fun to drive.

Hang in there

I'm with you Rich,

This got old about a week ago. I don't even know how to describe it now. It's finally prime driving season after that crapper of a winter we had and now this............ My '97 is ready to go on the Ark if we need it. As long as we are headed south.

Got 4 drag radials on my car & its in for work, which means 4 trips back & forth from the tuner to the dyno place, AND I was gonna take my kids fishing any one of 4 days, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon...

Want to know when its gonna rain again...?
