No kidding! We're right outside of Charlotte and I tried to take my top down this afternoon which lasted about 20 minutes. Had to dash outside from the restaurant and put my top back up. Jeesh! Okay Mother Nature we've had more than enough rain!

Will you come help me brush all the rust off my chassis components then? j/k...I get the point of fiberglass not rusting but after this complete body off restore I will think 3 times before putting mine in moisture.

Edit: the cow began peeing on the flat rock again here just north of ATL...guess that is what I get for being a smart a**.

We did Cars & Coffee this AM and not a drop.

I guess we just timed it right, LOL.

Picked up my 2009 Convertible 8 days ago and Uggg. Got to drive it for about 10 minutes with the top down. Forecast is for 10 more days of this on and off stuff. Haven't heard anyone say, "Well we needed the rain anyway."

I feel the pain! I've had enough. I'm driving mine on a 160 mile round trip tomorrow if the forecast is for anything less than solid rain!
