Default What I really enjoy to do

Drive in the rain! When your going at least a steady 45mpg or faster you wont get wet. I love looking at peoples faces cruising by in rainstorm.

If you drive a certain speed with the top down, you create a bubble in the car that keeps the rain (mostly) out. But unless you live where there are no street lights or can put your top up without stopping, it seems fairly brainless to me.

lol you don't get much water in the cabin if your over 25 mph or so... and even if you do the Z's cabin is so tight water wont really get anywhere bad. I just keep a towel with me to wipe down the plastic when it starts to rain on me. I usually wont put the top up unless its coming down pretty good.

There has been several times on my way to work in the morning where it started to downpour big time... drifting with the top down in the rain is oddly entertaining for some reason.

wow.. and I was under the impression that I was the only crazy person... glad to see fellow lunatics...
Is funny to see peoples faces.. but in south Florida it gets to a point that you just have to put it up...
I have a friend with a vert that says; if it rains harder then just accelerate..
