Top and sidecurtains stow neatly in the trunk. Defroster and wipers work OK. With the right tires that stick wet or dry, you drive the car. A towel or two for where water leaks in at the edges of the windshield helps.
Had a design all worked out for a flap on the hoodscoop to keep water off distributor and air cleaner for really heavy downpours. Don't need it. Engine heat evaporates any water on dist and air filter.
And on June 19th it rained and thunderstormed all the way from just South of DC, all the way to the Ohio State line. We stayed somewhat mostly dry, and the 17" tires stuck to the twisty windy roads in PA, and WV. Even passing semi's at 75 - 80 MPH, not a hint of hydroplaning or instability. I was impressed.
