Default Nope...they don't melt....

Being the eternal optomist, I went to the golf course, hoping to play today, but mother nature had other plans. Came home and parked the car outside. When the rain stops I'll wipe it off and put it back in. And no, Corvettes don't melt. Of course my wife decided to park hers outside so I now have 2 cars to wipe down....on my 15th anniversary.

Half the fun of driving in the rain (or letting it sit outside in the rain) is wiping her down afterwards!

Default Monsoon Madness

Enjoy it while you can. We are in Oro Valley AZ. Doesn't rain much, but it does in July/Aug. And our car doesn't melt either.

I was very impressed with the handling in Weather mode. I tested the nannies a few times and they won't let you get into trouble. Much better than my 2014 base model. The traction was really good. And now I know how to use the windshield wipers.....

Water beading on both cars. Good job waxing!

I blow mine off rather that wiping down. Works great. I use a leaf blower but will be getting a Master Blaster!

Yep, we get about 8-10 inches per year, mostly during monsoon season. And of course it rained on the day I planned to play golf. But I have another 335 days of sunshine to play.
