Black Camaro is finally here!!!
But...it's Black. And...exactly how I wanted.

But there is a slight drizzle outside!!
It is raining on the day of my baby's maiden voyage :' (

Get a REALLY BIG umbrella!

Grats on the new ride!

You have plenty of time to take pics now since it's raining! Make sure you update your Drives: field.

PAUL SS · 12-05-2009, 01:07 PM

Is it going to be a daily driver or just a weekend warrior?
Might be hard, but can you put off delivery until a sunny day?

RMGee · 12-05-2009, 01:08 PM

Its gonna be a DD... so it well see rain in the future of course, but it pains me to have it dirtied immediately!

Ahh I wanna drive it so badly though idk what to do...

PQ · 12-05-2009, 01:13 PM

Just drive it. I like the way they look when the rain beeds down the sides and off the hood. Shortly after it gets grimed up but you'll be ok.

Of course it's gonna get scratched all to hell in the rain and you'll probably never get to see it at it's best again.

Just kidding. Enjoy the car. Trust me, it'll shine up real good and pretty as soon as it dries out.

CONGRATS!! but just think about it this way.....if she gets dirty, it just gives you more of a reason to be with her and pamper a bit more.

PAUL SS · 12-05-2009, 01:37 PM

Yep, ideally you want to take delivery on a nice sunny day and drive it all day. Oh well some days are better than others. Just be careful and watch for those who are not.

Congrats and enjoy!

ahart04 · 12-05-2009, 02:02 PM

Yea man don't worry we were droughted here in Austin for months and the same week it ended, you guessed it, delivery. Weather has been terrible, I've washed my car like 6 times. It hasn't taken a drop of sweetness out of the experience, don't fret, just enjoy!

I know the feeling... it was raining the day I picked mine up as well... and to top it off, the factory cross threaded the nut for the pass side wiper arm, so it was useless... oh well, I was still ecstatic to be picking it up.

TJ91 · 12-05-2009, 02:16 PM

Gods Blessings?

My cars first drive was in the rain as well from the dealer to my place

Allowed for me to do my first wash the next day

THUMPER20X · 12-05-2009, 05:31 PM

Funny because this summer in Southern Ontario had been shit. Then My Camaro was delivered August 11th and it was nice for almost 2 months lol.

Warmart · 12-05-2009, 06:07 PM

Wooo, I would drive it regardless. Well as long as there wasn't golf ball (or +) sized hail

Get out there! I would, if I could get one, grrr.

"prima"Donna · 12-05-2009, 06:23 PM

Congrats to you!!!... Now get out there and drive it!!!...it won't 'shrink' in the rain...lol...

When I got my car in May, we had almost daily, and 'record setting' amounts of rain for May, June, AND July too, so I got 'quite the christening'...lol...

Just enjoy the ride and welcome to the

I will be getting mine Tuesday night. The day after I scheduled taking a day off from work to enjoy a drive in the new car, the 10-day weather report showed that it'd be rain and snow here in Seattle. Fortunately, you cannot predict the weather here. Current forecasts show it'll be clear & cold. Still, I'm worried it'll rain/snow...
