Broke the corvette code
Well, I guess I am going to get flamed. First, I drove in the RAIN and VALET park tonight.
I was running late for a dinner reservation at Joe's Steak and Stone crab inside Caesars Palace. I figured the vette was the fastest way to get there. 
Anyways, I slipped the valet some $$$ and kept the car parked upfront with cones around it. After dinner, it was sprinkling just enough to make the road slippery and the car dirty.

It was made to be driven - and sometimes it will get caught in the rain. No big deal.

Drive it and enjoy a little water will not hurt it as far as the valet as long as you watched him park and he put cones around it thats ok.

Join the elite club. I lost my corvette badge some time ago. I drive in the rain, go thru car washes, eat in my car, let people sit in it at car shows, and let my dog ride in it as well. I take people for rides, and even let them drive the car...as long as I'm in the car with them. I do politely ask them to move if they are leaning against the car, or caution them if they are doing something careless, but that's about the only intervention.
Car still looks as good as new, and people come up to me all the time, thanking me for letting them and their kids sit in the car. Did the same thing with my 63 convertible several years ago, and you know, it didn't hurt a thing.
Hopefully I'm helping to create some Corvette memories.
