Default Damn this rain!

I just got my car Saturday night, and it seems to have been raining ever since! I just want to be able to pull out the car in the sun, rip off the bad dealer detail job, and wax it myself. It seems like such a waste since it keeps raining.

Yeah, top hasn't come down since Saturday. Another day and it'll be a new record for my car.

Speaking of stupid: The other day a V8 Mustang spun out and ended up about 30 feet behind me. Scared the crap out of me!!

Yeah, well rain is good. We haven't had this much rain in a while and its good for us. Relax, we have the best weather on earth here in S-CALI. Be thankful in 2 days you will be out in the sun washing your car while others will still have their Z parked for the winter in there garage for months... Now that SUCKS!

I try avoiding driving the Z in the rain, unless I'm out and get caught in a downpour and can't avoid it. Mos of us will be washing cars this weekend, I think.

Wish it'd either rain or stop for a good while. Keeps looking like it's over and then it starts up again. Wish zeus would make up his mind.

...and i've given up on weather forecasts, they never seem to be right, of course except when they tell you current conditions (as if I can't look out a ****ing window).

I don't like the rain either and it was a good thing I didn't wash my SB last weekend. Now I can't wait for some free time so I can try out the new Zaino kit that arrived on Monday. hehe

Thinking back, I am grateful for this. It's just.. I just got the car and it seems like the weather doesn't want to clear up so I can really enjoy it.

I like watching the forcasts now that KCAL has that new chick Jacki Johnson doin them. To quote a member on another board "Iwatched the weather report for 10min and still didnt know what the weather was going to be like."

I was coming back from skiing this past Sunday and on the 10 westbound it was raining like there was no tomorrow. Anyhow, a CS passed us up doing like 80. I doubt they even noticed it was raining. (Not that I would ever drive like that in the rain.)
