Default Best rain dance EVER!!

It never fails, if I am going to wash my car, it will rain

Today, there wasnt hardly a cloud in the sky, and I washed the car completely. No sooner did I put down the shammy and turn around to start a little waxing... its covered in spots. I thought, "no way I missed that...?" Sure as crap, the sun was out but it was raining!

So I shammied it all off, because it looked like it was done raining, and started to wax. I got almost all the way around the car and it started monsooning! WTF? Where were you weather man?

Now, my car isnt a show car Its got battle scars from all kinds of crap, to include a fist fight in my old parking lot, and college bitches with sunglasses that cover from their neck to forehead with cell phone to ear while kicking their new hummer door open. Waxing it today was merely a last ditch effort to keep it from fading into obivion

So, if anyone ever has need for rain, shoot me a PM and I'll come by your farm and wash my car. The crops will get rain then...

We could use some in Tucson - it's been awhile. Hell, the last three days have been cloudy, but not even a drop.

It rained on me last 2 out of 3 times I washed the car. Like you, I do the wax jobs as last ditch efforts to keep it looking semi decent.

Truthfully, since 2005 when I got this car, it has rained every time I have washed the car. EVERY. FREAKIN. TIME. Last week, I took it thru a touchless wash. Anyone care to guess what happened?

It hailed. Yes, hail. In June. First wash in about 3 months. Hail. Not just any hail, but hail that can only be described as some type of plague or pandemic... because it ONLY hailed at my house. 3 miles away, at my work they did not recieve said hail. WTF?

Somepeople call this type of activity a gift... I tell you its a curse

Wish that worked for me!! I LOVE the rain but it hardly ever rains here. Probably why i love it so much. It may rain like a total of 10 times a year, but only like 2 good storms the rest is just drizzle.
