Default Corvette C6 Raincoat!!

After 5 years looking & searching for Corvette raincoat I finally got one, off E-bay, it’s part of the Viking line of outerwear.
Bring on the rain, here in Florida rainy season just started.

I thought this thread was going to be about outdoor car covers. I don’t drive mine in the rain so I don’t need a rain jacket. But for those that do, nice jacket.

I normally don’t drive in the rain. But have been caught a few times when traveling.
when visiting the Grand Canyon the news said a storm was coming and was going to get snow.
I canceled the rest of the trip as didn’t want to get caught in a snow storm.
well left at 4am to a downpour. Worst rain I’ve driven through in my life. 4 hours of it.
lightning that would light up the sky like it was day time.
another trip to San Diego got caught in another storm going over the pass was snow and rain with sleet on the road.
got pelted by a gravel truck doing 7K in damage.

needless to say. If you want to travel in your corvette you risk the possibility of wetting it wet. Lolol

Nice jacket. Did it come with a pair of new balance sneakers. Lol. JK.

Yes, rain is a part of travel. In 2015 I went to the Bloomington Gold show in Indy and for those that were there know it was a monsoon every night. I don`t drive mine normally in the rain either but Road America two years ago was the same way. Sometimes you gotta do whet you gotta do.

Mine is just a toy. I don`t mind the rain as I drove in it yesterday. Now it needs a bath and after owning it for nine years I can be picky about when I drive it and how often I want to wash it. Just comes down to how lazy I am!!

When I bought my car a few weeks ago, I had about 200 miles to get it home. 10 minutes from my house I was hit by a freak hail storm. Only trees on the road were a few scrub pines, which I pulled up next to. The hail beat my car to death and there was not a thing I could do. When it stopped, the car was literally covered in hail stones. I don't know why I didn't take a picture. It was the stuff nightmares are made of. Fortunately there was no damage. That has to be some tough paint on those cars.
