Try a thick layer of wax to prevent it from melting. They are basically made out of sugar so be careful!

Too late. The damage is done and he posted about it on the internet. Saleable value is decreased by at least 50% and he can't put "never seen rain" in the for sale ad.

You do know that Corvettes shrink when they get wet - when you get ready to drive home it will be in a Chevette.

You should have thought about that before you bought a plastic car. Everyone knows you have to have another car to drive on days it might rain.
