OCD ZL-1 owner
Just want to make sure Im not the only one that has issues when it comes to this car! I had her out yesterday it was cloudy and according to the weather clowns had a few hours before the showers............... So Im on the highway about 4 miles from home and the drops start hitting the windshield! Now keep in mind Im the person who had a hard time putting a hose to the car for the first time LOL. As the drops started to fall so did my right foot, I was hitting the garage door opener button about a mile away from the house. I got her home before the pavement got wet and had minimal water drops to towel off! I know little much but i figure some of you would get a laugh out of my little story........ Im ready to be made fun of
 Any way I hope all of you are enjoying your Z's and I hope anyone still waiting is getting close! |

My siggy shows where my cars sit 24/7 ... Guess what they haven't melted yet ... Ya'll need to seek some help, if you can't cope with a little water and dirt in your life. IMO the car is not worth having if your going to just stress over it all the time. IT'S JUST A CAR !!!

Yup, these things sat for months out in the Canadian snow before deleivered. As my DD, I cant let a little rain bother me, even though I am in the garage every night with my California Duster. My '69 is the garage queen, lord knows I do not need two.

Its not just ZL1's...LMAO! I use ALL 750 HP if i see just ONE rain drop! I PITTY the FOOL that gets in between me and my garage...LOL!!! I was destined to be like this from the day i was born. I come from a car fanatic Family. My Grandfather drove the same car his whole life. To me it shows who treats their car as JUST a car vs those of use that take great pride in our rides and treat them like the Precious Trusty STEEDs that they are!

but seriously, the car is more than just a car. I take very good care of him. this along with other reasons is why I cannot go anywhere w/o people staring or walking up to me asking questions about the car. this is to say nothing about the customers that come in my store asking about the Bumblebee parked out front. now, I guess this would be different if I just drove a regular car. then I guess I would consider it just a car. but then again, would driving "just a (regular) car" get me that much attention? umm, I say no.

honeslty I don't mind driving in the rain but I don't like my car to sit outside 24/7. then again cars just stay in better condition when stored indoors.
I live in oregon though it rains 364 days a year and summer is on a Wednesday. You have to drive in the rain ever once in a wile. If I lived somewhere else I proabalby would not drive my Zl1 in the rain. That is what i have my POS dart for.

 The thing that bothers me the most, and this is just me..... I hate the bottom of the car and engine compartment getting messed up from wet roadway. For me also its not just a car, God Bless all that can drop the 60k and think of it as just another car. Everyone is diffrent I just like my toys to be spotless top and bottom. |
