HWY 62. It hardly ever rains out there, and those are some good roads!



Get yourself a good R.D. Damn CHP.

Hwy 62 is probably lovely, but it's far, far away.

One day, I hit 95 mph on Hwy 85. I was slowing down but still around 80+ mph when I saw a CHiP coming up behind me. I had a moment of "uh-oh" but then he passed me with a big grin on his face.

Don't have that problem. Most roads in Oklahoma including the main ones inside cities are 40 and up. Of course, all of our roads tend to be straight compared to places like Cali, Colorado, NY, and all the other "fun" places with nice winding roads.

Loved watching my baby be built during the Buyer's Tour at the factory. The 'water test' was so awesome. I remember there was so much water that we could barely see the taillights. Cool to see a video of it since we couldn't take any / they don't give that one in the photo book.


My car was the Laguna Blue C7 within those 75+ Corvettes doing the Rainbow Run in the rain this month. Its the only LB, so you can pick it out in the middle of the crowd in the photos and video.

And those are my pics with the panorama and the beaded blue roof that my buddy George posted. She sure looked pretty imitating a duck.

Sure, she needed a wash afterwards. Mostly her side skirts and *** end were dirty as heck. We don't show her though, so not TOO much work required afterwards.


And I can see both sides of the coin. Our friends really big on showing and trying to make 100 points, they need to detail with a Q-tip. I can see them not wanting to get this level of dirt in their cars.

We ourselves wouldn't run to the grocery store in her on a rainy day when we have other cars to choose from. She is generally pretty darn nicely cleaned when she hangs in our garage and no need to make her excessively dirty for something like that. On the other hand, if we've got plans to drive with friends, a little rain won't keep us away.

We like the twisty roads, which tend to have a bit of dirt, some fallen rocks on the edges, etc. She can do it. She just gets a quick rinseless bath after.

Cheers,
Suzy

In the rain, snow and cold of Chicagoland winters. Why would I leave the best car I ever had only when it's nice out??

NEVER take your Vette out in the rain, UNLESS you have purchased the
VETTE ANTI-MELT PACKAGE!!!

I drive mine in the rain all the time. I try not drive in the snow or when there is snow forecast. I would hate to be out and the snow accumulate and now my car turns into a snow plow

Forget the rain. Don't drive your vette in grasshopperville, like across highway 160 in Kansas in July. When we got to Trinidad, everyone was looking at the car. We thought they had never seen a corvette before. What they hadn't seen was 400 miles of grasshoppers plastered on the front of one. What a mess.

My car doesn't leave the garage on cloudy days.

Met some big ones on Kansas rt 36.
As far as rain goes, who wouldn't want a garage queen as opposed to some dd with grime in every nook and cranny?

I try to avoid rain but as long as there is no hail or big thunderstorms it gets driven. Keep it all slick with wax and most muck blows right off.
