Rain is ok for the paint... compared to UV IMO...

haha i know how it feels. I feel like something inside of me is destroyed when it rains on my car.. but hey i will drive in the rain if i have to.. used to it now.. it was just for the first couple of weeks when i got it.. now im over it :)

How about 3" of snow on the road? Happens often in MI

first off, relax. the cars not gonna melt. its water. much like the water used to wash your car. It was bound to happen. Drive your Z, dont make it a Garage Queen.

when i bought my car it rained (read:stormed) as i was leaving.

Don't forget about acid rain. j/k;)

Holy sh*t this is a 350z not an Enzo. Even the guys with enzo's and f50s drive in the rain down here. You will probably have a new car in 3 years, take the next 2 and a half years to make your car worthwhile. Drive it everywhere! ;-)

If it were raining refigerators, I could see why your Z would be "ruined".;) Not trying to be acerbic.

When and if you get caught in a rain shower or storm, you are rewarded with an opportunity to clean your car afterwards. For many this experience is a PITA, for others it offers an excuse to spend more time with the car and get to know it even better.

Zaino it, wax it, clay it, detail it, rub it, scub it, wet it, dry it, have your hands all over it. You'll learn alot about it . Grab a cocktail or five and treat your Z to some TLC after a rainy trip. Believe me, rain is not the worst thing that can happen. Enjoy your new car, worrying about it is normal.

(used "it" 14 times, sorry)
