    I haven't been wet with this car - yet, but expect that little deal will happen sooner rather then later. I had a T-bucket a few years ago and even with the top on it, often got wet as the front tires throw whatever is on the road directly in my face on a turn With the top off - I just went fast enough for the rain and road spray to go over the car (until I made a turn).

    Now, would I go to a local show in the rain with an open roadster - nah. I can BS with my buddies another time.

    I would go, let her rip. I went to a show here a couple years ago, left my house and it was clear 10 minuets later I looked like a jet boat going down the freeway. I was soaked, but still had fun.
    I vote, go for it Richard!!

    Ken, you gave me the boost I needed, I was in my pajamas eating my bran flakes while it was raining. I stayed on the site then the sun came out; your encouraging words pushed me out the door. My wife didn't want to go she said it was going to rain all day, I said so what. Like a little whipped pup I came in the dinning room in my under wear and socks. I said "you know I don’t asked for much so lets go." How could a woman refuse a crazy man in his under wear asking such a question. To think some people don't believe we have power. I had to hustle to get the white walls clean. It was worth it.

    Thanks Ken, the others had me on the fence and you gave me the push.
    I met some car guys that are into racing and building hot rods right in my area.

    PS My wife said I lied I do get everything I want.

    Not sure we needed that visual Richard but here goes.....

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
