Default How many of you have driven your cars in rain?! Just had my first experience

As I look back at my last 45 minutes today, I think it could be very comical, but believe me when it was happening I didnt think it was funny.
So I check the weather around 3 here and its 73 and partly cloudy according to weather.com, so no worries. I took the camaro 10-15 minutes down the road to my restoration shop to go over the electrical issues I have been having and the new stereo system. All the windows are down, nice ride, and all. I am there for about a half hour or so and weather is still nice as I leave.
Well, as God would have it, a nice stretch of road between the nice weather at the shop, and nice weather at my house was downpouring rain!!! My camaro has never seen rain and I am proud of that, I have never touched the wipers until today. So believe me I had some choice words and that 10min ride felt like an hour. I got it back in the garage as fast as possible, rannn inside, got some t shirts and wiped the entire car down, in and out, trunk, under hood, wheel wells, rockers...every drop I could see!! I think I broke out in a sweat doing this so fast!
I think I was afraid those rain drops were gonna be acid rain or something and eat my car alive! The funny part is, as I was at the resto shop, one of the guys was powerwashing one of the new restorations. His water wasnt hurting it, so maybe my first, and hopefully only run in with downpour isnt that bad after all.

So how many of you have been in the rain with your cars, and what was it like the first time??

Out of breath
