Dude you are nuts. I'm glad you don't live in Seattle or you would never drive your car.

 

It rained the day I took delivery, and three days straight after that. I had the top down, I had to pull over and put the top up. I almost cried. The dealer did a good job in the first detail, as the water beaded and I dried it off easily in my garage with a microfiber sponge. I have since waxed it twice and take it out in the rain with no worries.

 

black zebra you drive a 350Z.. not a ferrari enZo. Its a sports car that is a really good buy for the money.. but that doesn't make it rare or fragile, just really nice to look at. Your confused...

Treating it like a porsche is fine, as long as you understand it isn't one. Being this **** is just ODD..

 

I thank everyone for the help and replies, although some of them have been quite acerbic.

I guess I like to keep my car special, it's still new and I love it.

It's kind of like when you have a newborn baby, you are worried about relatives picking it up and breathing on it.

 

Um wow, its a CAR.

Ruined? sheesh buddy.

Drive in hail, rain, snow...who cares.

 

Crazy as it may sound, I DON'T drive mine in the rain. I bought it used and I'm still AR about it. My wife thinks I'm nuts.
I know a few rain drops won't hurt it, but if it's raining the Z stays home! and I drive the 4Runner.

 

I used to be like that as well until a few weekends ago when I took her up to the Finger Lakes in New York. It poured all the way from Cleveland to NY. Trust me, I found a car wash the next morning.

At least I know the Injen CAI is OK in the rain.

 

Both my Zzzz and my sons have been rained on.

Both have survived nicely!

If Bonzer says your "nuts", you may wish to consider getting help.
The man is over the edge himself!

 

Thanks for the laughs! zya......

 

i think youre right, its probably ruined. id call your insurance company and tell them what happened. you have full coverage right?

 

No, you don’t need counseling, I didn't. You sound normal to me.

I’ve had my Z a little over a year and it has be rained on twice. The last time I was caught in the rain I washed it in drive (while it was still raining) before I pulled it in the garage. I then dried the off in the garage. I promised my baby I’d never do that to her again.

Thus, I don't even drive her on overcast days anymore.

This past winter was pretty bad, I didn’t drive her for 3 weeks in January. Even when the weather was clear I wanted wait until a good rain came and washed the roads of the salt and chemicals. So after the last snow I always have to wait until the next good rain comes.

I guess that explains why I only have 4,750 miles on her after a year.

 

I don't get it, what's so funny?

 

......

 

If you are so scared of the rain maybe you should move to Southern California.

 

i just got the z to sit in my garage. you guys drive it???

 

I couldn't bare the thought of anyone, including myself, looking at my car. I keep it in the garage under 6 covers. God Bless.

 

Whats Rain ?

 

what kind of damage can rain do? i would be more worried about lots of direct sunlight, which will eventually harm your paintjob.

 

See... that's what I'm talking about. UV is the devil.

But in all seriousness - the car is beautiful but prone to paint chips, rock chips, accidents, and people keying your car.

That's why god invested MAACO!

Alright all kidding aside - rain is okay for the car.

After 2 coats of Meguiar's Liquid Gold (or whatever it's called), I love the way my car self dries if I'm on the highway and it goes from rain to shine.

I also love the way the water beads up if the car is sitting in the rain. It looks like a gust of wind could blow it all away. Get some Zaino or some good wax and you'll appreciate the beauty of large beads of water

 

I think you should try making an insurance claim
