I Blew Off Today's Concours or,, Confessions of a Hydrophobe. Options

Grand Rapids 50th Porsche Club anniversary, West Michigan Chapter. Top side concours, more for fun than anything.

BUT...

It was raining in Cadillac, raining on the way down, raining in Grand Rapids, AND even after the rain stopped in GR it rained on the way back in the middle of the afternoon.

So I didn't go. But my car is sure clean.

Am I a wuss? A traitor? Overly sensitive to WATER. I mean, Pat won't even wash his car, right?

Hi Guys,
It's been at least four years from my last post. What brings me back? I can't believe what I'm reading. Water, I don't want to use my headlights, rain. How old are you guys-8-9 or 10. I've own show cars for at least 30 years and you know not one--let say this again not one has melted not one. I've drove, from Mi to Md, Mn, Pa, NY,W Va. And have taken many first places and some Peoples Choice with my cars. My car that I have now I drove back from Fl in the rain and dark with my lights on and oh the Bugs, guess what I wash it all off! Porsche built theses cars to drive and enjoy not sit in a cover and become old and not used. Events that I'm talking about were or are 914 or PCA, second in class at the 50th parade and I drove 700 miles. An oh, did I say about the rain on the way, there was road tar, and bugs,? Cleaned on Friday, won on Sat. Now that I ran my big mouth let me say that for some events if it's raining I will not go, but, then again Tom has rode in my Six in the rain to a VW show. Thanks for letting me run off, however I'm sure that each of you will have something to say to me. But, that's whats so great about car guys, each has his thoughts about how to care for his/her car. I have included a link to my 71 about 24 hrs after I got home. If I have a 914 event here in Michigan next spring is anyone willing to come? Just a thought.
