Default Am I obsessed?
OK, here if Florida it is in the mid 50s.

I just got home from a week long trip to NY. My car is filthy as it has been sitting for a week with no love.
It is raining slightly but not too bad.
What do I do? I wash my car and take it for a spin.

On the road I run into a pewter vert. The wave was saved!

Sounds normal to me. I've probably washed mine a half-dozen times in the
rain. I'd back it in the garage to dry it off.
