Has your car been driven in the rain?

[djom1cincy]

I have a 03 cobra that has not been driven in the rain. Well the weather for the past week has been crappy and my only other vehicle is a company work truck that I'm not supposed to drive off hours. My question is has your car saw the rain? Should I break down and just accept the fact that its going to happen and start drive it in the rain or hold out and try to avoid it. As of right now if there's a chance of rain I wont take the car out. It sucks not being able to drive when I want but nice knowing that it hasn't been driven in the rain or bad weather. Your thoughts?

I only drive mine in the rain when it rains :shrug: luckily water evaporates and everything is fine after that oke:

j/k

I never understood the concern with a car being in the rain or not being in the rain :shrug:

mine hasnt seen rain but then again it hardly sees sunlight :nonono:

it is always a trade off keep the miles low and take care of it or drive it a lot and enjoy it.....i say you buy a cheap car to DD

Rain is water. Do you wash the car with water? Now if we were talking snow and salt and other excessively harsh elements then I wouldn't drive it. Rain won't hurt anything though unless you drive it down a dirt road.

Mine sees rain all of the time. It is still in one piece.

If you have something else to drive then sure dont drive it in the rain, but if it becomes inconvenient, then it's just stupid. It wont rip the car apart and you wont get much extra at resale.

I've been caught in it a couple times. other than that, no

I try not to drive mine in the rain, mainly because I have a beater Jeep and I don't want to be washing the dang thing all the time, but IMHO it's not that big of a deal. If you're the type to keep your car IMMACULATE then by all means, don't drive it in the rain! But a little rain isn't going to hurt it. Just make sure when you wash it to get the water spots off. :beer:

Yall would cringe to see the L right now, it's rained all week here and that thing is filthy. Supposed to rain all week next week too. I don't have a problem with it, so long as the car has a working defogger.

I won't own a car that I'm not willing to drive in any kind of weather (other than large hail).

 

[97desertCobra]

I try not to drive my Cobra in the rain but it happens. Its not a big deal. Just try to stay out of boost and there wont be any issues.

Maybe a half dozen times.

shit my car loves the rain...only time it gets cleaned

 

[Uncle Meat]

Wow. You know how much value your car loses once it's been driven in the rain!? Don't do it man, for gods sake DON'T DO IT! oke:

U.M.

P.S. I drive my new Z in the rain all the time. It's just a car for christs sake.

 

[lokslikasolstic]

It's just a car. So what if it gets wet or dirty, clean it and dry it.

Mine has been caught in the rain 1 time....on its way to get dropped off for round of mods. It poured and streets flooded....I pulled into a parking garage and let it pass. After I got the car back, I drove it on to a ramp made out of 2x10s rolled under it and cleaned the undercarrige.

Who cares? What is the rain going to hurt? My car has never been kept in a garage for its 13 years being around and has no rust.

:lol:

It's a 7 year old Ford dude. :read:

 

[mblgjr]

I don't intentionally go out in the rain.

But, of course I've been caught in it.

Every good car I've had was brought home in torrential rain.

 

[fiveohhhstang]

My car has been out in -50 temperatures and in over a foot of snow. I really don't care about a little rain shower.

 

[silverstang23]

Mine is driven in the rain. Its my only car so i drive it in the rain if its raining, which isn't very often. You have the car to enjoy and that is what i do
