When you finally get your dream car, will you mind driving it in the rain?
1 - 20 of 55 Posts
i believe cars are meant to be driven, and they aren't fun any other way. but i would only drive a very expensive car year-round if i had enough money to fix anythin that breaks from wear and tear. if i spent my last penny on a 911 i'm going to be driving a yugo a whole lot.

OK, where the HELL did you get that pic from? If i had a CLK-GTR id drive it. I wouldnt take it OUT in the rain, but if you get caught in a rainstorm what can you do, right?

Well, recently I've been dreaming of building a Corbra Roadster Kit Car with no plans of getting a top for it... So driving in Inclimate weather just isn't going to be a option.

If we're strictly talking about exotics.. there are very few (probably none) that I'd want to drive in the rain or snow. I know the new Lambo's AWD.. but.. I really don't think it was designed to handle snow (and yes, I live in TX and no, I haven't ever driven in snow...

Cars are meant to be driven. I can understand not driving a Barchetta-like car, say a RenaultSport Spider in the rain - with no top it would be pretty uncomfortable.
But I remember seeing four guys convoying three Rolls-Royce 20/25's in a horrible Ohio rainstorm once, and watching them do their best to keep these ancient machines in line (the 20/25 is from the 1920's). Cars are meant to be driven.

Wow, did you take that pic of the CLK-GTR? I've never seen pics of one on the street. Hell yeah i'd drive an exotic in the rain, but not the snow... It's alot of fun testing the limits of a car in bad weather traction. Thats what seperates good and OK drivers.

Re: When you finally get your dream car, will you mind driving it in the rain? (some9one)
you kiddin me? the BEST drives i've had in the Porsches have been in rain, snow, through mud, down gravel roads.
not driving a car in the rain is an excuse only for cars that leak water, or are supposed to be in a museum.
if you can't afford to clean/detail it... then you just simply can't afford it.
with the crap Pirellis on the 944, i can feel the car floating its way to the destination. every corner is drifter time! spin the tires at every intersection. heck, i'd do 360s if i knew i would not get a ticket for it

That's pretty much the only reason I dont drive my 510 in the rain. Water leaks into the trunk...Re: When you finally get your dream car, will you mind driving it in the rain? (Obin Robinson)

No, not worth driving in crappy weather. I can clean the car, but I'd HATE to stand in the rain trying to explain to someone that damage they did to the car costs more than their house.

And here I am driving my F40 in the rain, and here comes Obin, drifting around the corner in limited visibility and takes out the front clip, cause it's to wet to stop in time on the crap Pirellis. Carbon fiber front clip. Now I have to spend time getting out in the rain and explaining to Obin the concepts of indentured servitude, because his insurance won't cover it.

Eh, put a bigger windshield on, and maintain a decent clip, and you won't get wet. I mean the design is British afterall, and if you couldn't drive in rain in Britain, you would only drive two days a year!

As gtivr4 said, if you don't drive in the rain in the UK, you don't get to drive that often - especially on public holidays or anywhere near Manchester!

Yep - you can tell by the 7 in the radiator opening
