What's the big deal about never driving a Corvette (or any car) in the rain?[/QUOTE]

That's what they make Fords for.......

Driving it in the rain just means it may take a little longer to get it detailed, but that's it.

At least with someone that doesn't drive their car in the rain you know when it comes to their car - they take extra great care of it in other aspects as well. You're not going to get a car that has been abused in other ways.

LOL!

My sentiments, exactly!

No, and it's so clean you can eat off it. I use a California Duster on it every time I take it out and follow that up with Final Inspection. You don't want to know how much time I spend cleaning after I drive it.

I drive mine in the rain all the time. I drive in snow. I drive in 113+ temps, and 30- temps. She is my daily driver and I'd not have it any other way. Too much fun driving her to let her sit home alone in the garage!
