After many months of struggles, sleepless nights and anxiety I finally took the leap that many have suggested would be healthy for me....

I...I....I...drove my car ....in the rain.......

It was not a hard rain <lets not get crazy>, but enough to coat my car with actual water that did not conclude with me drying and waxing. It was a decision that took a long time and many months of P-car Garage Queens anonymous group meetings. I know it's only the first step but I feel like I actually have a chance now at a normal daily driver life with my 911.

She <my 911> responded by drifting her hips out so nicely that I could of swore I heard her giggling uncontrollaby. Ok maybe that was me.

When I got home I was very emotional, my wife stopped me and said "Honey? Are you crying?"

"No dear, those are just rain drops....." /sniff

 

Let the car and yourself enjoy all of the elements!

(my 997TT is drove every day, rain, snow, and sun. It it performed marvelously....and doesn't melt. )

 

Your C4S should be MORE fun in the rain, because you can do things that almost every other car/driver could/should not even attempt.

I'm an advocate of daily driving cars that we enjoy the most.

Excellent story! Congrats on your new experience!

 

Now you can take a road trip to Seattle and visit the original Starbucks and the Space Needle.

 

Are you kidding, why would you do something silly like drive your car in the rain! Do you know how bad that it for your car!

Kidding, get over it, that is how I wash my car!

 

Want to have the most fun in your life, take the car out when it's raining, find a private parking lot/empty street and turn your traction control off.

 

What is this thing you speak of called 'rain'. I am not familiar with such unseamly environmental effects where I live. I wish you much success with your 'rain'.

 

It's like a mudslide, but without the dirt.

 

Rain is fun..especially in DE's with the windows open...

well done katera...

 

Or better yet, take it to a road course... Try going 120-140-160mph+ in the rain... THAT is fun (for the driver, for the passenger - not so much).

+1. Except when it's pouring/standing water - then windows go up.

 

It is a slippery slope. Soon you might even consider snow... SNOW! The horror!

 

I use my car daily and that means in the rain too. Nothing wrong with that as a matter of fact is a free carwash like NORTHVAN said lol

 

No need to be afraid of a little rain unless they make you drive with the windows down.

Plus, now you have an excuse to wash and wax your car!

 

haha nice...driving our 911 back from arizona purchase, going north of san francisco towards oregon on 101 in the rain was probably the most fun I can remember having in a very long time. First time solo landing an airplane probably trumps it, but that was in the 1990s

 

Thanks for your posting. I can appreciate where you are coming from.... It took me a while (and some Xanax - just kidding!) since I began to venture out in the rain. However, I found this item at Costco "CR SPOTLESS De-Ionizing Spotless Water System" and it changed my daily driving habits. Basically, you can wash the car, rinse and let it air dry. Even with a black car there is minimal spotting and you have to be very close to notice.
