All good brother!
No drought here. I don't mind the rain for it is good for my business! I just don't want it during the days. It can rain at night and on the weekends.

Purchased my C6 from North Carolina, after I got it home and cleaned up it has obviously sat under a sprinkler system. I have tried literally EVERYTHING to remove the water spots with NO luck. Car is headed to a professional detailer tonight that swears he can get them out. If not then it is headed to be color sanded and buffed, minimum $1200.00 for that little procedure. WHY WOULD YOU PARK ANY VEHICLE ANYWHERE NEAR A SPRINKLER SYSTEM!!!!!!

MOVE THE CAR!

And for you NY guys who want the rain to stop, we can send you our governor Jerry (Moonbeam) Brown and he will bring the draught with him. Remember that little guy in Lil Abner with the black cloud over his head. Don't worry though, he'll think of some scheme to save you from yourselves that will just cost a small increase in taxes.

No thanks, we have our own dipsh*t up here, Snowflake Cuomo, "everything is free, I just don't know how we're gonna pay for it!" Guy wants to run for President and he'll be lucky to carry his own State!

Unfortunately for us, the urban areas of NYS are infested with liberals and in state totals they can out-vote us normal people -- who dominate the rural areas.

City water can damage the clear coat. It's not "just" water.

It's happened to me also after washing the Vette and driving it the next day hearing the bang is very concerning but it's just the rust breaking loose.

Surprised Ontario is so high, Huron is almost exactly the same as last year and nowhere close to record highs.

To hell with the lawn, save the vette!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about the upstream lakes but aside from having record rains this spring, the US and Canadian govs came up with some "new" idea in 2014 for setting the lake level (via dams on St. Lawrence). Apparently it was too high.

How could we possibly survive without government meddling in everything?
