The reason I am wondering is because I saw a pic of a enzo in the pouring down rain the other day!!! Im trying to find it but I am having a hard time.

I took it out when it rained the other day on purpose. That's the only time it gets washed.

I really don't like to drive my car in adverse weather because what worries me is the other drivers on the road. They're not very good drivers around here and plus it's a big pain to get cleaned.

I actually like driving my turbo in the rain more than when it's dry. I feel like I can actually take advantage of the AWD & PSM more often than usual

Same here. I love taking the TT out in the rain from light drizzle to torrential down pour. I can explore the car's traction limit with 1/3 the speed as it'd take in the dry. Much safer.

Haven't tried snow. No point. Car's too low.

I guess you can't help but get caught in the rain from time to time. If the weather is bad I have other vehicles to drive.

I don't have a TT, yet, but I do drive my C4S in all weather. I try not to drive it if I know it's going to snow, but I did get caught in both major blizzards here last year. The car did ok, not great as I have my Pirellis' on it year round and they tend to get very cold after about an hour in the snow and slush My big fear is not my car but the other ****ty drivers.

968 Cab, no snow, no rain (unless caught by accident).

Is the wash water in Atlanta not acidic like the rain? Just don't let the water dry on it in the sun.

Purchasing a 996tt just so I can have a coupe to take in all weather. Not sure about snow, I was looking at snow tires for it, but I don't want the salt from the road doing paint damage. Rain is ok though...I got the rear wiper for just that occasion.

We're fortunate it doesn't snow here in L.A.

Took the car out once when it rained last week but it seems as if people here in L.A. forget how to drive once it starts to rain. Besides, don't want to crack the CF lip or bend my wheel on some pothole I can't even see in the rain.
