Exclamation Rain rain go away!!!

I know we needed the rain in the DFW metroplex, but geeeeez. My car is a catfish afterall. However, it swims like a square rock. I hit a stretch on 170 this morning that I swear was going directly into the intake the water was so high. 6:00 AM and dark as ***** ontop of the wipers doing nothing north of dick for clearing the rain off a winshield that has a triple coat of rainx on it already.

I got to see what bald fronts and ET streets in the back felt like in the rain yesterday. I must say it does increase: Focus, heart rate, spacing between cars, and the smooth taking of curves. And I think I have a few extra gray hairs after the experience.

Oh, I was coming HOME from WORK. So I had next to no choice. It took me an hour and 15 minutes to go 23 miles. I know you are talking about a bicyle, but I used to ride a gsxr 1000 daily when i didnt have a car for 2 years. These days were the worst.

Ya'll need to find a POS to drive when the weather sucks, keep your fbodies at home. The Caddy is an awesome looking, great running, a/c working, wanders all over the road, $3,000 POS that is a beast in the snow as well, even if the wipers are fubar and only work on medium speed with no washer function. I never drive my convertible in the rain
