O no its raining

O No its raining!!! I hate the rain. I'm sitting in my office looking down at my car getting wet I wish I had a shield so it doesn't get wet (like a bubble, a big huge on for the surrounding area so I can drive around too. Where are those domes when we have to live in when we move to the moon? I want to borrow one! Then our cars would almost never get dirty!! ~sigh~ Daydreaming......works moving slow..sorry.

its posts like these that make my job as a mod here a bit more interesting

u know what u can do? buy a car cover, put it on ur lude. then cut a nice rectangle the same size for your windshiled and windows. dont forget the rear. then cover those holes up with a big piece of clear plastic. now when its raining , just put the car cover on and drive it while its on!!! kinda hard to get in and out though. and dont even think about using the trunk

Ever since I got my Lude in November, it has probably rained the same day I washed my car 90% of the time. We have a drought here in FL, so it never rains, but as soon as I wipe the last water drop off my paint, the rain clouds come. Really makes me think that someone is playing a bad joke on me.

I hate it when it rains around here, I run outside real quick right before I see the rai come and I put on my cover even if I am sitting someplace I will leave it on until it stops raining!!

I know I am insane but I love my lude

Your driveway is all dirt? That sucks you should have something for the driveway so when you take your car out that doesn't happen cause in Australia you can't have blacktop in certain places right cause it will melt with the heat???!!!

No, I visited Australia about a year ago and I noticed that the driveways there weren't blacktopped and when I asked someone they said that the blacktop won't work due to the extensive heat you guys have and it melts too easily. I might be wrong but it does make a little sense since it does get hotter there then here in NY and even here the blacktop sometimes sinks in when it is hot and the car is sitting on it for a long period of time.
