Just was thinking about the drive to work day. Since I have owned Corvettes it has always stormed on the official drive to work day and therefore never happened.

Since I just moved to a new location and now have to drive to work, I may celebrate the commute next Friday!

This is true, however severe storms can produce hail. Hail is hard on body panels and glass. My car isn't for show and does go out in the rain, I refer to the detailing as drive clean.

I'm retired so no work to drive to, but just might have to get the car out and go for a drive that day.

I don't work. So what do I do? Just drive it somewhere non-descript?

Work will be on a golf course that day. Two sets of clubs fit easily in the back.
