I understand the heckling about not wanting to get my car wet, but this comment is just over the line.

Take it back!

I'm a firm believer in the 1st amendment. Are you a member of the forum police? If not, then it's not your job to tell him to take it back.

True that. I lived in Houston for many years; I think part of the problem is the land is all flat around there so the torrential rain doesn't have anywhere to go. When I was a kid we had an inflatable raft that we would get out and row up and down our *street* in rainy season. It ain't real rain unless there are ducks paddling around the intersection.

Now that's rain I would actually worry about driving the Porsche in, because the puddles get higher than the door sills.

i honestly amazed people with brains still tend think there is any actual difference from who exactly gets elected there... put a pig in a suit into oval room and still it will be all the same outcome as all the vital decisions getting made not by a puppet you actually vote for.

Frankly, I don't get much rain on it, but when it does happen, I smile - because I have Rejex all over it, and the junk does not stick to it. I'll wash it when I get the time on the weekend, and it's back to new again.

Of course, having Silver vs the previous two Guards Red does allow me to reduce the meds a bit.

If you are really that **** about your car, I suggest a full vehicle wrap:
