Default Its just a lil' black rain cloud



So this morning there was a 30% chance of rain. Seeing that the weathermen have been wrong ooo so many times, I decided to drive the vette to work today.

All day not a cloud in the sky. Took the targa off and mady my way home!

Half way home down 75 I felt rain drops

Continued to drive some more... then BAM buckets! I pulled over and put the targa back up.

Good news, the rejex let the rain just fly off!

Now out to the garage to wash the vette now that its dirty

No longer a rain virgin!

20% chance of rain from noon till 7:00 turned into a downpour at 5:30 yesterday...
The wife was not amused... the deal is if she is driving it when it rains she has to help wash it......

No such thing as a chance of a little rain this year here in the northeast.
Be careful out there.

If you just keep driving, the rain will just deflect right over where your targa would be. Not that I would know...

You want rain experience? Come live in the NW. It's the ony place I know of where weather forcasters OFTEN refer to "rain changing to showers." (As a result, we have LOTS of low-mileage Vettes up here! We put them away for the 8-month rainy season!)
