Finally, the rain is letting up. Took an early morning spin.

looking good, fellow red car owner!
hopefully, it's not only driven in the dry?
I can understand the hesitation in snow / ice, but not rain.
I bought my car & drove my car during a rain storm.
the broker even asked how I was getting it home.
glad I live in a moderate climate. affords all year driving.
regardless, enjoy whenever you can!

Rain doesn't scare me!! Lol! Been driving it plenty, but I can use a break from the after-rain wipe-down and quick detail spray and wipe. Nice to be able to take it out and park it.

I feel your pain on that. the only time I've scared myself is a month into ownership.
taking one of Saturday or sunday drives. ended up 350 miles later, in lassen park ( no. cal. ).
this was in the February, no snow on the roads ( 3' - 4' on the side though ).
I got the "ice possible" warning on the DIC. driving at 8'k elevation had me puckered for a 1/2 hour.
actually the car handled it fine ( course I wasn't driving "normal" ).
yea, I'm always happy when I get to enjoy a whole of a clean car.

That's not red, it's reddish! Victory red or Torch red are RED!
