It is wet here too. Seems like the first rain in years though.

Wise *** comments like this serve no useful purpose.

I drive mine in the rain and it does not melt. However, it does shrink 1.017" in length and 0.387" in width every time it's driven in the rain. It's almost to the point that my tires are rubbing on the front/rear as well as the left/right fender well.

I'm not worried as I'm certain the General with consider this a warranty item.

I had mine out in the rain yesterday and will be giving it a bath this weekend. Went to a car show yesterday, dirty and all and still got a trophy.

Probably not. It looks like about another week and a half of horrible weather.

Sorry, I live in California and we need the rain badly; as a result, I say: "rain rain fall all day, I'll drive my vette anyway"
