What we've become: "Oh, a rain drop, better get to the supermarket and stock up. Hope this doesn't affect the price of gasoline too much".

Or, are we concerned that the Porsche will rust if driven in the rain?

Since the dyno is indoors, seems like a perfect way for car guys to spend a rainy morning.

A very funny recent thread on the 951 board

I don't drive in the rain, do you?

Smart move. Although it would have been cool to do a 968 chip test on 9/6/8, my cars are staying in the garage while the remnants of Hanna come through today.

We had a major thunderstorm.
Also, Pazzer, no one is stopping you from doing this. If you are that interested, feel free to get a chip and test away. I will do this when it works for me, period!
There are more important things in my life than my cars.

It was a tropical storm for goodness sakes! Postponement of a dyno test is certainly understandable under that circumstance.

The rain we had made many roads impassable, I'm an hour closer to the dyno shop than Raj and I wasn't going to drive their in either of my cars.

Conspiracy theorists relax, sometimes a cigar is a cigar.

Turned out as just a heavy down pour.

6+ inches of rain at my place-hours of strong winds which blew down the 70 foot tent at the town fair held on my street. Qualifies as more than a heavy down pour in my book. For those of you on the east side of it rain totals were much lower.
