Drove mine in the rain on way home after picking it up at the dealership.
First and last time it was intentionally driven in the rain.
Same here !!

When out for a cruise, I've actually turned around and 'retreated' if I spot dark clouds in the direction I was headed & beat feet fast if the oncoming traffic is wet !

They handle like crap in the rain..and a pita to clean..why would ya want to...if you don't have to:unsure:
Drove mine in the rain today. I had about a 2 1/2 hour window to myself today which is a gift from God at this point in my life. Some throttle is better than no throttle, I’ll take a dirty car if it gave me a couple of giggly smirks today.

I NEVER drive my cars in the rain EVER
This reminds me of back in the day…. People would put seat covers in their new car to keep them looking new. The result was, the 2nd owner got a car with perfect seats!

Please give my contact info to your wife so after you croak I can buy your (her) pristine car, then beat the crap out of it! Thanks!

Just kidding! Life is waaay too short to obsess over anything. A couple of my old age resolutions are don't obsess, and don't overthink!

Live, enjoy, be happy! And if your car gets wet or dirty, it's still a blast to drive and most people won't notice! :)

Mine has been all over the Southeast. Plenty of hotel parking lots, parking garages and running across Florida over Lake Okeechobee, where the bugs are insane.

It's still fine.

It's still a damn 4-door.
Fixed.

Dumped the 2 door and kept the Taxi Cat.
I would have bought a Charger RE but I am not a WB fan.

Mine is just a regular, original body.

Our bugs up here are rather normal and well balanced...

Neither am I, but ironically I think the multi-doors look better with the dually fenders.

Guess there are cases when two wrongs make a right.

I think about this a lot & just can't bring myself to let go like that - sucks to be me some days :rolleyes:.

When I think back, I've actually had more fun with some of my POS beaters ! Park anywhere, don't care about the miles, door dings, keeping it clean, being stolen, tossing grimey shit in the trunk or bed, time to change the oil - meh I'll get around to it ............................
