You guys need to trade the Vettes in on an Ark from the weather reports we're seeing up North. Stay dry...we'll all be envious of that great Fla weather in a few weeks.

Great weather here in Port Charlotte huh?!? I really do hate summer in Florida because A. It rains every afternoon (or whenever we wash our cars) B. Love bugs do wonders to our paint! C. Way to hot and humid to be working on these cars!

If not for the rain, everywhere would look like a desert.

At least that's what I tell myself when Red Racer gets dirty after getting caught out in the rain...

We'll take that rain - it has been very dry here. But you're right - washing and detailing the car is a guarantee that rain will come.

I've managed to avoid rain so far, but I will surely get some as we are driving to the USGP next week. We WILL be driving the Corvette.

(Sorry, I know this is bragging, USGP and all, but two weeks from now when I am at home and cleaning wheel wells, floor pans and hopefully not my wife's coffee stains, you can brag back)
