...have to leave their baby in the rain? :( unfortunately I live an apt with no garages right now so it's having to sit in this crappy weather. Does anyone else have to do this?

Luckily no, I have 5 storage bays and a 2 car currently. All the cars are covered up for this storm.

I have an open air parking lot at work, and then the drive home. I'm tempted to just leave it out tonight so it will get a good washing.

But it's chilling in the garage right now...sopping wet. :(

Sadly yes I have the garage full of boxes and most of the parts from my first mustang slowly rebuilding it and since there is no primer or paint on the frame I gotta store it so it won't rust

Can't imagine that'd be a fun ride.

The day it hailed which I think was Christmas Day I wasn't fast enough so it got hit for about 2 mins before I could "borrow" one if the covered spots, and apparently it chipped some paint off. I hope there's an easy/cheap fix for the small spots. Can't wait to have a garage so I can detail it and let it sit when it rains

It sucks, my old stang had 315 mickeys on it and I got stuck in a rain storm an hour away. I could only do 40 before she tried to do donuts. Damn near didn't make it up a hill in it on 20, I was doing about 30 and was fish tailing the entire time.

Having a garage is awesome. How small are the chips? Will touch up paint do the job or are you going to have to take it to a body shop?

Well..I have a 2 car garage and a shop I can park in....but there is a catch....My house is 200 yards off the paved road do I have to negotiate dirt and pot holes any time it leaves shelter.

I had to do that once with my coupe, talk about the pucker factor! Mickey's, no air, power steering, no defroster, manual brakes on skinny front runners and skating all over the place while trying to use my sleeve to wipe off the windshield. Way back when I thought using my hobby/racecar for a daily driver was cool. Boy, was I retarded. lol.

Doesn't sound fun at all!

I drove my Vette a few weeks in the rain and snow on the drag pack, it wasn't a lot of fun worrying about it but it made it to and from work no problems. Didn't even kick the traction light on once.

Hell yes its outside. its a car, not a child or dog. a little water will not hurt it.

Yep my baby stays outside where it belongs, gets daily driven pretty hard, and still looks great. I agree ^

The 2013's engine bay gets really dirty after a rain due to the vents.
