After setting in the garage for the better part of 6 years and only 6,000 miles, I finally decided to start driving mine as a daily driver. It wasn't making any money just setting there.

I didn't drive my other vettes much but since I got my C5 I am enjoying it as much as I can. Why save it for someone else to enjoy using it.

I don't purposely take it out in the rain, but if I'm out in the car, and it rains hard or soft, I couldn't care less.

I drove in the rain on my way home from buying my FRC in May. I have since been caught several times in the rain. The good news is that I then get to spend even more time detailng this awesome car.
