Dwight, as you lnow I occassionaly leave Arizona. The last excursion out of Arizona, June/July '09, I drove 11,500+ miles. If it doesn't rain on you , you ain't driving your Cobra. Real Cobra drivers do get wet ( even if we try not to ). When I drove thru Jacksonville, FL I had continious rain north bound thru Georgia, South and North Carolina and into Virgina. Also, in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Mass., but that was only drizzle. The worst dousing of the trip came 1/2 mile from home, I'd driven thru heavy rain in Phoenix about 1:30 am and drove out of it so I took off my "rain gear" and was in shorts and t-shirt when at 3:35am I was on the road to home and didn't think about it having rained there because the road was dry, well, I drove thru a dip that was full of water, about 5" deep, it came over the hood like a wave from the ocean. I was soaked from head to toe, there wasn't a dry piece of clothing on me. I was home about two minutes later, woke my wife up, she took a look at me and said " I didn't know it was raining outside". I think that Arthur will have fun learning all of these interesting things by himself. Let's not tell him about the shinning new instruments getting fogged up and the water shooting thru the body / door opening into his lap.
