!@#$@#$#$% rain

Complaints from a fairweather driver.

After spending sometime waxing the car this past Sunday, Mother Nature could've at least waited until I got home before she let the rain start to fall...Yeah yeah I know duster and quick detailer after the rain stops..but still it's PITA

Yeah Yeah I know I 'm getting no sympathy from you guys out there that get real weather as opposed to California weather

My HHR is warm and snuggy it the garage during this storm... It has yet to see real rain (I drive my other car in bad weather)..

But I know the wipers work--I tested them on our last G2G in Long Beach...

LOL!!
That's hilarious, Greg!

You know my Blackie is outside 24/7, but I still make sure it is the *shiniest* car in the campus lot! Sure was a pretty gnarly ride into Irvine this morning.

On a side note, I almost fired one of my student Peer staff when she asked if my car was parked by the School of Engineering as she saw one that looked like mine--I asked did it have pink pinstripes? She said no, but it's a PT Cruiser, right?

I love my students.
