Sorry man... but all my toy cars have never gotten one drop of rain (or snow for that matter) on them... been doing it for 10 years. I am very particular, and an avid detailer, and OCD, as you can prolly now tell

If the weather shows precipitation chances of greater than 20%, the daily driver beater comes out...

Yeah... been that way ever since highschool. I think it's because I was around rich kids who had mommy and daddy buy them brand new cars, while I was driving a POS ford escort with rusty doors and multi-colored panels. And these kids were treating their cars lik a$$. Every since then, I swore that when I became successful and could afford cars (and other things) on my own, I would always take care of them, never taking things I worked so hard for, for granted.

Anyways... I rant... sorry. Long story short, I HATE dirt, scratches, swirls, dings, food in the car, etc etc... You should have seen my 7 year old G35c when I traded her in for the Z. I want them to remain looking and driving like new, fresh off the showroom floor. I guess it benefits the person who buys/gets the cars after me

Here's my G the day I traded her in I miss Gina too... wish I could have them both.
