Do you drive your Camaro in the rain?
Some people think I'm crazy because I try not to take the car out in the rain. If I get caught out in the rain, no big deal, but if it's raining when I leave the house, I'll take my DD. I know water doesn't hurt the car, I just like to keep it clean & it's such a pain.

6 months so far and nary a drop. This year's drought helped with that

No way if at all possible. These Georgia people were I live can't drive on dry streets adding water just makes it an accident waiting to happen.

+1 I've taken it on 5 trips this year and if it rains, oh well. Usually just drive it on summer trips, to car shows,and such. Not going to spend an hour and a half cleaning just to drive it to work one day in the rain. Never even used the windshield washer in the 2 and 1/2 years I've had it. Why? Because I can.

Same here won't take it out in the rain or if I know it's definitely going to rain but if I get caught out in the rain it's not going to melt and it was built with a hardtop and windows incase that happened

My Camaro is my daily, so yes. It's been raining for two days straight here in Cincy. :(
But I'm working on my winter car so hopefully soon the Camaro won't have to see crappy weather.

Typically I don't take the Camaro out in the rain but sometimes I do if its just a light rain. It depends if I need a Camaro driving fix. If it's particularly windy though, it doesnt leave the garage (rain or not). I don't want any crap flying into it.

Mine is my daily driver. But if I'm off and it's raining I stay home way too many crazy people that can't drive in the rain.

I have no choice; she's my DD. Drove her to work yesterday in pouring rain and she handled great.

Try to avoid it as it makes me clean it right after, hate water spots and mud on the car.
