its my DD. rain snow whatever. I avoid hale though

I avoid driving in anything but dry conditions as much as possible so the Z has seen rain only a handful of times while driving. I don't care if it rains on the Z while it is parked but driving in the rain gets nasty grime into every single crack and crevice which drives me up the wall.

Then again, I do wheel off details every month or so... My OCD rulez my life!

No driving in salt or heavy rains. I prefer sunny days but if I know I have time to wash her id drive in the wet. Most of the time I don't have the lux to wash or detail each time so I just don't get her dirty to begin with.

Don't drive in snow or salt still on the road and if I know it will be raining. Did drive it in a gully wash on the way home from last years Imports at Carlisle. Took me 3 hours to detail it afterwards. My Z is actually my 3rd car, 1st in winter is 2005 Nissan Titan, 1st in summer 2003 Mitsu Eclipse with vert. doors. So the Z is only a good weather car.

All my previous toys have never seen rain. Period. Ever. If chance of precipitation is greater than 20% she doesn't come out.... even more so snow. So my toys are only fair weather/garage queen cars, driven maybe 1x or 2x a week. Plus now that we have a kid, I have to take turns dropping him off and picking him up so Zena gets driven even less

She only has 500 miles on her since I bought her last year.

Had a 1993 FD RX7, never seen rain. Also had a 2003 G coupe with 13k miles and never seen rain when I traded her in for Zena.

No... I just have DD's. 10 year old Civic for me, and Odyssey for the wifey. Like I said, toys only get driven on uber nice days, maybe about 1x or 2x a week.
