Or, just go out and do what you think is best for your car. Don't listen to these other guys. Do what you feel is best for YOUR car. Freedom of choice my friend.

Singing in the rain...
Guys, I just had a vision of a new Porsche ad.
To the tune of "Singing in the Rain," alternating shots of Gene Kelly dancing and singing in the rain and a 997S screaming through the rain. Gene Kelly makes a smooth move in the rain, the 911 makes an equally smooth move in the rain. I think that would be a kick *** ad that would really show off the grace and handling of these amazing cars.

See how good you can be when you stick to what you do best!
P.S. That's a great tune, btw. It's playing in my head right now.

There she sits perfectly clean and she just does not want to back out into a thunderstorm. I tried to back up, but a message came up on the instrument cluster that said "NO WAY: Thunderstorm".
I find myself cleaning the rims at least once a week even though the rest of the car is still shiny. I don't drive as much as I used to as I count on the MTA for the commute now. But yeah...i'm lazy...I like to keep my cars clean as long as possible.

All I can say is - get in the 'car' turn on stick in the Beatles song ' RAIN' into the CD player and cruise at a safe speed and think about the following words:
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes, if the rain comes
When the sun shines they slip into the shade
And drink their lemonade
When the sun shines, when the sun shines
Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine
I can show you that when it starts to rain
Everything's the same
I can show you, I can show you
Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines
It's just a state of mind?
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
Sorry to sound grim - enjoy it today - might not be around tomorrow

Dude, I must be really bad. The temperature has been 95 degrees around here with a heat index of 102. I won't drive her because it's too hot and I'm not turning on the AC. Now that's crazy. She hasn't seen the rain or heat. Probably won't see anything under 40 degrees either. Sick isn't it?

But what's the reasoning you won't drive in 95 temperatures or not turn the a/c on..?
Just curious because for not driving in the rain I can understand if someone plans to keep the car for 30+ years and wants to prevent the rust in all possible ways but for not driving in 95 temps or not turning the a/c on, I just can't see what the reason is..?
