Not to be a dick, but the chances are pretty good it's seem rain already.


yeah, you're not, don't worry. i know it's been rained on before, and definitely on purpose. But I can't control that. I can control it when it's mine. I know everyone's split on driving it in bad weather, but to each their own.

However, being my normal non-SISSY self, I actually took it out today in the mist and got crap all over it from the road--took my fiance to a personal training session and the trainer couldnt' believe I took it out. Neither could I. I detailed it when I returned and it was back in its cover for my week away from it again. Less of a chance I hit a puddle and hydroplane or some idiot next to me does in the rain. Chances are increased for wrecks in the rain--that's really more of my concern. Someone can hit the hell out of my other car and I won't really care. But driving my Camaro is different. This is a dream car for me and it's a huge investment and I plan on keeping it looking and running it's best for years to come, and I don't enjoy driving it in the rain. I'm keeping the miles low anyway. Driving it every day wears out its excitement.

I'm happy that there are people who love to drive it in the rain, more power to them. But there are people who don't, more power to them as well. We all own Camaros, that's the main thing.
