But if there's showers then no. A good hard drizzle's ok though. But not a downfall, no way a downfall.
Monsoons are fun for that sheltered feel, unless it's pouring, pouring monsoons are real bad. Then I leave it at home.
Then there's sprinkles. I like those; sometimes I sing - when it sprinkles.

With good tires, the Vette must be driven in the rain... What's more beautiful than a rain soaked Vette cutting through the downpour? Aye, the water spots suck but a car, especially a sports car like the Vette is made to be driven. I hate taking any other car but mine--its soo much fun to drive...
There was one time when I was driving to San Diego and I had the T-top off when it just started to rain very lightly... At speeds over 50, the rain actually didn't fall into the car--it kinda followed the windshield and went over the top... That was cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not much rain in Las Vegas but when it comes, I'll drive. Happy with my own driving in the rain but I get really nervous with the tailgaters on the slick roads though. 
As a Brit, avoiding the rain is not an option!
Gives an excuse for the detailing on Saturday morning!

RAIN is a FOUR LETTER WORD!! 
Yep, we drive them in the rain. Heck, we autocross in the rain.

I never drove my 99 in the rain. The 04 is different, I drive it in any weather. I even drove it on a mud road. I don't plant to do that again, too much trouble to clean up.

I try to avoid it, but sometimes the Vette is calling me a lot more than the Accord is 
If it's absolutely POURING tho, Vette stays high and dry in the garage

I try to watch the weather. Living in Norfolk, VA whose streets will flood even during a moderate rain, I avoid driving the car in the rain, but use the 4-Runner instead.
