Ok if 355 sits outside in the rain for a night?

What do you wash the car with?????????

 

i wash it with water but i dont spray the engine bay for 10 hours straight. does anyone else?

 

How about a total car body condom?(unlubricated)

 

have you ever regretted posting a post

 

oh my god...its just too funny

 

I feel parking in the rain and driving in the rain are two different animals. When driving, you have to look out for everyone on the road. Rainy conditions won't help much on top of that..
All you need is for some unexperienced driver to slide into your ass.

(that didn't sound right) But you get the picture.

 

Hey Ricky,

This IS to funny........... I feel your pain. I too have a 355 that I baby a bit. I wouldn't want it getting drenched under some sappy tree or blown with salt water in a storm. I think your just going to have to use your judgement and relax if the weather turns for the worst.

For what it's worth, have a great time.

Eric

 

thanks!

 

A strip of beach property in Eastern Long Island, NY where rich people go during the summer... The Hamptons consist of West, East, South, Bridgehampton, with South being the furthest out and most secluded of the hamptons....

 

Frank, not to be a smartass, but check this out - water that isnt wet... cool stuff

Actually East is furthest, it goes West, South, Bridge, than East.

 

Does anyone use thier horn or do you feel it may displace to much oxygen and starve the injectors?

 

That's amazing. I never knew they did that.

 

Hey guy......It isn't a stupid question at all.
When it comes to your beloved F-cars, it's better to not substitute assumption for knowledge. Because of your inquiry, I now have learned a lot more about Ferrari and its processes than before.

 

Be our guest at the Bridgehampton Motoring Club this weekend.
Keep your car there in our climate controlled environment and access it 24 hours a day.

Your car does not have to be outside overnight.

I don't think its a dumb question, and I don't think anyone else does. I probably wouldn't keep my Ferrari out in the room over night, but i'm just saying one night shoudln't be too bad. All I would recommend, if you're really worried about it, is just to hose it off the next morning, get the acidic rain and that junk off. Just to assure you the car is fine.

 

God, if Enzo Ferrari were alive to see how much people baby his cars he'd PUKE! All the technology, hard work and design put into these cars and people don't drive them because it's too sunny,raining,may put on too many miles, jeez, sell the car to someone who'll use it.Go to Road & Track.com and check out the article on the "long term"ENZO with 10,000 miles on it , in the rain dust etc.and that's an Enzo! DRIVE THE FREAKING CARS, I'm so over all this tip toeing around Ferrari's. No wonder alot of people think they're fragile cars.

 

dear toolbox,
don't ever take ur car out of the garage it might get hit with a sole raindrop or perhaps a puddle, instead just sit in it in ur garage by yourself.

 

Amen brother!
Besides, everybody with a rag top knows that rain blows straight over you above 60mph!

 

I'm headed off to a week of vacation in either the 456 or 365 (depends on when the shop gets done working on the 365) which will include not only several nights outside, but at least 1/2 mile or more on a gravel road!

I do understand wanting to baby the car, but in the end it is just a car... none of this stuff will hurt it.

You should read what some of the Ferrari test drivers do to the cars during the shakedown drives! "Drive it like you stole it" seems to be their motto.

 

Point well agreed, but you must remember, back in the day Enzo really didnt make the most reliable of cars either, that second gear is still a problem, and of course Enzo wanted us to drive them, that way he could sell parts, and when the car was toast you could buy another !!..I think everyhting in moderation, my TR has never been left outside in the rain, but i have driven her in the rain,to each there own. Alot of people think there fragile cars because they cant afford the $300 oil change, or $5,000 clutch, hence are afraid to drive them.But I agree, drive them like they were meant to be.

 

not for nothing but some of u guys are getting carried away....i could give a rats ass about the paint. I am not worried about babying my car. My only concern was that it might not be the best idea if the engine bay was exposed to rain continously for hours. I know my E36 didnt like going through car washes becuz of all the water getting into the engine bay. Some of u dudes really need to relax. If you have nothing to add why not do something more productive with your time?

and if i or anyone else wanted to baby a car who the hell is anyone to comment/judge them on it? As long as people are paying their hard earned dollars on something they enjoy, they should be able to do what and as they please with those things.

 

Ricky, we have had some truly torrential downpours here in London over the past couple of weeks, and my 355 has been left out in each one for many hours, and has been absolutely fine afterwards.

I don't even give it a second thought leaving the car out in rain etc, but then I come from Porsche 911 ownership where you just drive the damn thing come sun, rain or snow!

 

Dude, who are you to call someone else a toolbox, seriously, Ricky drives his cars more then most, just prefers to drive his other cars in the rain... Good second post dick...
