When I drove by the Corvette plant in Bowling Green this past week I thought about all those posts where owners said their Vette had never been in the rain. I spent two days in Bowling Green and it rained, sleeted, and snowed on all those beautiful cars outside. My visit at the museum was over the top. I don't think you could find a nicer bunch of people.

Mine was out in the elements before I bought it, but more importantly that it hasn't been driven in the rain, because that's how the rest of the car gets really dirty. If it happens, it happens, but I'm still trying to keep it a little cleaner for a little longer.

I've got "caught" in the rain many times.Don't let the rain water sit on an unprotected car thats all.

My 06 NCM delivered was driven to the local gas station to be tanked up in a thunderstorm.

That's one reason all my vette's since 1972 have been DD in ALL weather and I've never experienced a problem nor have they fallen apart.

Drove my 07 home from Kerbeck's to Maryland in the rain and snow. I try not to take it out when the roads are bad. This make it easier to keep it looking good.

My car's been in the rain at least once. My daughter and I flew to Connecticut to pick it up. Made it 625 miles and got caught in the rain 75 miles from home.

The day after we took delivery of our 09 we were in the rain on the way home from the museum and our Vette has been fine and is driven in the rain all the time

Mine came off a showroom floor at a dealership in North Georgia. I drove it home 3+ hours in a heavy downpour through the mountains.
Didn't hurt it one bit.
It went from being spotless to a pure dirtball.

They clean up really well.

I know the car dos not melt and, all the other cute sayings others come up with. However, in the end it is the owners choice. I choose not to drive my car in the rain, just as I chose what color, options, and how much money to spend on my Vette. I also choose to drive my SUV in the rain & snow.

But the rain and snow are more damaging to your SUV than they are to the Vette. Seems like you have things reversed.

I picked mine at the NCM and drove 700+ miles home in no rain or other inclement weather. I was very lucky.

"Never been in the rain" is one of those things I just don't believe.

It seems every weekend I'm planning a car related activity it rains. Hasn't stopped me from enjoying the vette yet. Just have to be a little more gentle with the throttle.

As for rust that would of been the case in the 70's & 80's maybe. When was the last time you saw a SUV or any newer car with a rusted body (replaced panels not included)? I keep my vehicles a max of 5 years. Even here in Chicago the land of salt and, snow I have not known of a vehicle that I or a family members since the 80's to rust. However, lets be brutally honest here and cut through the macho crap and the usual b.s.

Anybody over the age of 10 would feel safer and rightly so in a SUV in the snow & rain. Oh, you could lie and say thats not at all true. However, you would only be lying to yourself.

I drive mine.

mine has been caught in the rain about 2 times, not for long though. 1 time I was on the freeway and it just started to come down, had to pull over and out the darn top back on.

Perfect!

Absolutely true. Your money, your car, your choice. I had a good friend with a '78 pace car. It was driven to the gas station once a year - period. But it was touched, admired, & detailed every!! weekend. Made him very happy to do it that way.

Yeah, but the bugs you killed with the front

Did you know there is a windshield wiper switch ? Your wipers are off.

I'm sorry; I could not resist.

"sitting" in the rain..and being "driven" in the rain are night and day......ask the undercarriage............
