if you say so. it's not a matter of being scared stazi.... it's a matter of the car being in flawless condition and him not wanting to spend the time cleaning it just so he can do what... drive a 530 HP RWD car in the rain? because thats so much fun? i don't think so... he's got better things to do and four other cars to drive...
if it will make you cry any more he also has a supercharged sonoma that he doesn't drive in the rain either. he must be really gay!
whatever though... i'm sure he's wringing his hands over your opinion of his driving preferences.
I just think that it is totally weak to not want to drive the car cos it may rain. Hell I'm putting almost 300hp to the ground on a FWD - not exactly "traction-city" but I'm not pussing out over it.
I'm not attacking you, I just think that it's weak that rain scares him off.
Snow, ice, mud, dirt roads; I can understand, but water - please!
just so we're clear... it's certainly not a fear of hurting it b/c of losing control. his previous mustang ran ten's, so it's not that at all. it's a matter of a) wanting to keep the car pristine (and it is. the car is literally flawless) and b) not wanting to spend time cleaning it. he barely finds time to do a lot of things that he wants to, so he'd rather not dick around with extra maintenance for no reason.
i'm not so sure why this is so hard for you to understand stazi... he's got a bunch of cars, so why drive the performance car in the rain?
let me put it this way....
if you have a versace suit, you're not going to wear it to mow the lawn are you? (it's not like you can't wash it if it gets dirty!)
you have a whole closet full of clothes, and you save the nicest stuff to keep it that way.... nice.
so if there's a good chance of rain (or lawn mowing), it stays in the garage!
