Default Who's sick of the rain?

I got back in town Monday, rain everyday. About five minutes away from pulling my maybe/maybe not faulty Optispark and the monsoon hits. Too windy to keep working even though I was under a car port, water was starting to get in the garage, etc....(The garage is full of stuff, I rent a room in a house.)

I realize its the summer in FL, but I'm sick of this **** already. I miss having a garage to work in.

Who else is off to a bad start to their weekend due to the weather?

Sick of it, ruined a lot of plans lately. Had to help a friend change the slave cylinder in his eclipse in the rain yesterday. Was doing some interior removel and cleaning on
my car today when it started.

And I don't have a garage. I pretty much to some degree clean my car everyday because of it.

its been slowing me down from going out and looking for work, plus i think it helps the effing gnats reproduce, i think i might move back north instead of dealing with all these annoying bugs.

Now that sucks Magnet, for me its a two hour drive to any 1/4 track so I wouldn't be amused either.

CMS, I did use you guys to get the opti, it was here in less than 48 hours from placing my order. Lighting fast shipping!

Yeah I'm glad I don't have a ttop car, I remember finding a lake in the back seat of my old 83 Z28 on occasion.

His T-tops flew off at 180 mph, so now he just drives around with a big hole in his roof!
