I drive mine in all weather conditions except snow. I hate to even drive the four wheel drive truck in snow. Snow is a nuisance, hate it.

Just be careful if you have a Z06. Those tires do NOT like wet pavement.

I'll admit I do not drive my car in bad weather if I can help it. Not that it will melt or anything, but I do have a DD for bad weather driving.

The car has never seen rain, otoh, living in the desert, I haven't seen much either. AZ is a great place to raise a car. A Cal. Duster is a good friend.

Only drive in the rain when I have to, otherwise the baby waits for sunshine.

I hate spending the time to get it clean again.
Also, I'm not worried about the rain coming down on top of the car, it's just water (same as washing). It's the mud and crap you get in the wheel wells and on the underside of the car I don't like. In addition, I don't trust the other drivers out there when it's raining. Nobody here knows how to drive in the rain!
