Man, I wish I was at this concert. 
Tongue in cheek. On a car forum, some owners specifically say they won't drive their Corvette in the rain. That remark usually attracts varied responses, lol. I guess they are afraid it will hurt resale value or damage something. I suspect these guys haven't been more than 200 miles from home and that's only when they can get 3-4 days of good weather. I wonder what they do if they get a bug splat on the windshield? lol.
Whatever works for you but I don't get it. This car was made to drive! We don't go looking for rain but if it rains, so what. Here's a pic right after we went through a hail storm in NM. No damage but the sound of hail on a convertible roof is "interesting".

Ten degrees C and light rain is considered top down motoring weather in some parts of the world.

Exactly! It's fiberglass...what's a little water gonna do? (or is it still fiberglass?)
They use water to wash it, no?

I only ever got to drive a V12 once...in 1971...a Lamborghini. I knew this guy in Germany who ran a little personal used car business. 5 to 6 times a year, he'd take an order for a specific Italian hot rod, locate a new one in Italy, take the train down, buy it for cash, drive it back to Germany, and sell it 'used' for way more than he paid for it, but way less than a 'new' one would have cost at a dealer in Germany. I got to drive the Lambo before he turned it over. Nothing like going 300 km/h on the Autobahn!I'll have to ask my cousin, he's got a V-12 Jag, but not the stacks!
Wir fahren, fahren, fahren auf der Autobahn!
Greasy roads result in a lot of crashes in LA when it rains. Many there don't know how to drive in adverse conditions.
If it's above 10C (50F) the top is usually down! Above 85 with humidity, not so much.
Exactly. It's a mix of fiberglas and composites. Then there are those that use the "waterless" car wash stuff. But it's still a liquid, so...what's in the bottle?
...and a Happy, Soulful Sunday to you & yours, from me & mine...
-9 F when I got up this morning. About a foot of frozen snow to tread through to get to the rescue. As one fossil said to the other, "I'm tired of this schist".

It's not just my imagination that the neighbor across the street ... ah, it's his story, as he told me.
I'd like to buy one of these, he told Ferry (Dr. Porsche). "I don't have any left to to sell, but I'll sell you mine," he replied.
A (practically) brand new 1967 Porsche Targa in Guards Red.
He did lose his license in that car, for a year, traveling with a business associate from Copenhagen. Their conversation can be distilled to Do you know how fast this goes?
This incident may have played a part in my father's refusal to let him sell the car to me. The car moved a couple blocks down the street in the stewardship of a cardiac surgeon who aspired to Gene Krupa drum mastery. He threw big jazz jams, including a New Year's Eve wingding.

Do you post pics of some of these birds on TB somewhere? Some of natures best work.
Lest I overestimate people's interest, I just let people go look at them on my Facebook and website. Just go to the site, click on ADOPT, click AVAILABLE BIRDS
Finished reading "A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court" - Mark Twain. Excellent story! I was laughing so hard in a few places I had tears squirting out of my eyes! Also pretty sad in places. He had very astute observations on slavery, religion, and politics in the story.
All of his writtings and musings can be found here along with lots of other authors:

People always put a capital F after the temperature. Is that short for a swear word ?
Gneiss pun Mike. I'll remember not to take your mutterings for granite in the future.
