I don't mind driving in the rain. In fact, I love driving in the rain, as I get to practice drifting everywhere I go and it's easier on the tires than in the dry.

However, it's the cleaning up of the car after the rain I dread. You can never get the underside of the car as clean as it was before the rain, and cleaning baked on dirt/water off the headers is the worst!

It also doesn't help now that I've elminated my wiper motor for a cowl cold air intake.

Basically, what it boils down to is that if it's raining or there's a very good chance of rain, the car stays home in the garage. If it's supposed to be nice and I happen to get caught out in a shower, hey, whatever. I'll just spend hours under the car cleaning when I get home. I don't care about the topside much (except having clean glass), I don't think I've washed the topside of the car in over a year.
