That's what I'm talking about. Many think they are not waterproof. You and I know different!

Yea, looks a little swollen in the middle. She'll be back to normal as soon as she dries out.

It gets worse when they're made out of sugar like mine is.

The 275 or so Corvettes at the annual Prescott Vette Sette show to benefit FireFighter Charities made it into the first few hours before the storms began. Remarkably, there were no reports of melting.

Apart from the weather--first time in eight years- it was another great show- thanks to all.

Had mine out for about an hour cruise this afternoon and just as I got it put away in the garage, the sky opened up and it poured for about 30 minutes. Didn't want to take the chance of it melting away.
