    No rain predictions today, and of course you guess'd it, I got caught in the rain for the first time in my TR today, I was pissed at the weather channel!
    I think my wipers are original.

    Beautiful!

    The most exciting driving I've done yet in my 456M was 200 miles in the rain before sunup last October when I was on vacation in New Mexico. I had used Rain-X on the windshield, so I didn't need the wipers except for in the small towns, and I had replaced the stock driver's side wiper arm with an F430 version, so no hood impacts. It really was incredible fun.

    Here's where the rain ended and the sun came up. Car is unmelted.

    Cheers,

    George

    My dad and my son drove the 500 Mondial thru a Rocky Mountain frog-strangler this morning (see the horizon disappear on the left side). My son was in the "bug seat", so his face got a lashing from the sleet/rain. Luckily, the Mondial has holes in the floor pan where the jack points connect to the chassis, so no bailing required!
