We had just got done cruising the WAIKIKI strip checking out tourist butts and on the ride home it just surprised us, just a patch, but it was enough to make me think twice about being a weatherman again after a cruise. LOL! I drove into my garage (didn't rain at my house BTW) and wiped everything down. No problems. Sorry to hear about the situation.

Don't like leaving the top off of my car if i'm not around it. But that did happen to me before while i was driving down the road one day. Not a good feeling. Hope your car is ok.....

But it would be really cool if it worked the same for my Coupe Sorry to hear about your mishap. If there is any damage, I would be calling my insurance company. New interior, here I come

He heard the Borla's in his garage and didn't know what was up
