Lots of sympathy form us!! I HATE it when that happens! And we don't keep them "show quality" clean as you do!! We haven't been able to drive our cars in days...well really weeks now. I am really getting tired of all this rain! This weekend was suppose to be better than this. I don't even know if my tranny is fixed yet because I haven't been able to drive it more than 10 miles in 2 weeks to find out.

Are you serious? It's rained here everyday for at least the last two weeks, and that's no exaggeration.

Seriously? I've been to the Nashville area quite a bit and I've always thought of that place being cloudy and wet because well, it always was.

My baby 'ATV' all season drive in anything didn't go anywhere today

Not my driving nor the rain that's a problem, just other idiot drivers not paying attention to road conditons/what they're doing, etc.

My Dale Earhardt SS had to hit the pavement today...
