Real corvette owners don't take their vettes out in the rain.

Now you can spend some quality time with the car pampering her back into a pristine condition.

It may take several high speed blasts to halt the process though.

No, real vette owners drive their car, like it was meant to be. Then spend time massaging it back to "Dam that is one sexy machine!" condition.

You must check the doppler radar before you even start the car!
Please be more careful!

call your insurance company. They will write-it off as a water damaged car. Then resell it with a salvage title for about half of what is used to be worth...

I don't think were on speaking terms right now. It won't come out of the garage, parking brake is locked up, nap in carpet is standing straight up, keeps throwing code "skru-u".

When I brought up the fact that it's o.k. to be a d.d.. fan belt squealed for about an hour.

what to do?

The only correct and proper thing to do now is to take it to your local Jag dealer. Trade it in as fast as U can on a shiny new Jag-u-ar. That way,being a Jag,the car will be broken down most of the time,greatly limiting the possibility that it will ever be out in the rain!

I will trade locations right now. It has done nothing but rain in DFW for over a month now. I just want to be able to clean my car and have to stay that way more then a day.
