I am like 90% of you out there. I DO NOT LIKE DRIVING MY CAR/TRUCK IN THE RAIN! However, since it will problably rain Sat, OF COURSE! I am trying to help with a big car turnout and drive the Mach anyway. But if eveybody else is going to drive their daily driver if it rains, I will drive the SHO. I would like your honest opinion's on what you plan to drive if it looks like rain. Thank's....Grenade

It says in my MANUAL that my car is not supposed to be exposed to rain.
It can disrupt the flux waves in my electrocapacitating luminate paint job. I received special paint from ford.....
for the layman, it means that the paint makes my car faster!!! :)

Hmmm. Well if I drive the Cobra in the rain, that means Rick will have something to do when he gets home. Of course, I don't think the rain will be able to penetrate the 50 layers of Zaino that are protecting it!
Come on people this isn't just any old meeting. This will be the first impression ... suck it up and take one for the team!
See you there!

If Joe can take his Ford GT out in the drizzle/snizzle we had for the cruise, I think we can bring our lowly SVT's out in a little rain for our 1st meeting at our new Dealer sponser!!
As long as they are not predicting hail, I will be there with the Lightning.

We will be up there with the Cobra & 05 GT (no mufflers) except if hail is in the air. Planning on leaving St Pete @ 1:30pm.

If Wysiwyg is bringing his rare, mint, low mile 93, I can bring the Mach. Dan C, I'm assuming the Mystic will abstain, from the rain?

We will have a place for SVT parking when you enter the lot look twords the back of the used car area against the main road that is where we will be! There should also be signs showing you where to park and people pointing when you get there.. Hope that helps alittle..
Oh and the weather looks to be holding off until the evening on Saturday, if that is the case and I am watching it I WILL BE BRINGING the Mystic out to play.. Hell I hasn't even been started since the cruise.. She needs to stretch hers legs a bit..
Rain Rain go away come again on Sunday!! Can't wait to see all of the sweet stuff you all will be bringing.. CYA there

You wuss, take the car out in the rain. Even Joe took the GT out in the rain. Rain will not do any damage to the car.

the 05 is comming no matter what.
Isn't it a 6-cyl.? That's kind of a silly post :oogle:
Well, if it's still gonna be raining, I think both the A & B vehicles will remain garaged and gleamin', which leaves me with the tinted up bomber, which I'm not exactly thrilled about. Anyone else getting just a bit edgy with the monsoon? :getmad:
I think AV might have to settle with body count as opposed to SVT count.
Besides, it's not our cars/trucks that buy their products, it's the owners :shrug:

It looks like maybe we'll get a window here, with possible sprinkles, then it comes back later this evening. That'll at least get the 'B' vehicle out I guess... still not a Ferd, but at least I like driving it!
