Default My first rain!

I woke up today to find it was raining like mad. This is the first rain that my car has experienced since we've been brought together by the powers that be.

So far, no leaks to speak of, but I'm wondering if there is anything in particular I should keep an eye out for? (aside from taking corners a little too fast. . . )

Don't wanna be a worry wart, but I also don't want to learn too much more the hard way. lol.

Thanks all!

^^Easy on the brakes pedal & watch for for large puddles,you don't want water getting in your air filter.BTW it will be nice if you edite your signature so we know what year 944 your driving.

Check drains near the battery and the similar drain on the drivers side (later cars have fuse box there). These can fill with junk plug up filling these areas when it rains.

Yea, it's really pouring today. People in LA acquire a certain "dumbness" when it rains on the freeways.

I always have problems on inclined onramps to the freeways, being careful on the clutch. Nothing like seeing the light go green and just sitting there spinning the wheels next to some ****box camry then realizing I'm not going forward, lol.

Once I find a proper job, getting a subscription is among the first things on my list to get. In the meantime, New avatar gets the job done!
