I know driving in rain and heat is bad for these cars - What about daylight?

I only drive my car on overcast days with a temperature between 60-65F with a relative humidity of 80% so the seals do not get too dry. When in storage I keep the car in a hermetically sealed car container at the perfect relative humidity and temperature for storage with a .2F degree tolerance in temperature shift. Now my Toyota is a different story.

Default Do any of you use upgraded Blinker Fluid?

Or is that just the AUDI CROWD?

Goddamnit sir, this is a fantastic post

Though, I prefer my unicorn semen, raw, and unpasteurized.

I only drive my car on Sundays to church. I figure that should keep my car safe from any and all dangers (rain, acid rain!, sap, dust, wind, dumb drivers, distracted drivers, etc.)

agree. letting the forum get dumbed down is not going to end well, there are other forums that show an example of the end result.

Reminds me of the bike forums I'm on. There's still the occasional, "If I parked my carbon bike outside the coffee shop after a ride, will the sun damage the carbon?"

There is a very small window between 8 pm and 8:15 pm that is really the only safe time.
