I drive in the rain if I have to, but not if I can avoid it. I took my C5 on a trip from south Florida to Atlanta, Ga last year and I got a lot of love bugs on the front. While my wife was saying hello to our hosts I was washing the car.

I do the same - but it's just normal behavior for me. I cycle quite a bit and also waterski - two activities MUCH more fun in dry weather. My wife and I have a "72 hour rule" - if it's been within 72 hours since I detailed her car she drives one of our "beaters" until the rain has passed.

OK so mine's a Daily Driver, I check the weather so I know how to set the traction control.. What are you saving her for? Her next husband! Take her out, drive her, put her away wet, and clean her up when the sun is shining!!!

The garage queens on this site really crack me up!
Its been raining torrentially here in NJ and I still put 50+ miles a day on mine... Its just a car; do you really think it won't devalue if you leave it in the garage when its wet out?
