Yea, it'll probably come and go. Only thing that sucks is my tires hate rain!

[Turbo II]

Anything is better than 2 years ago when we had to clear the roads Saturday morning from the storm the night before!!!!

[g's 3rd gen]

better than a wet socked mess....A scattered shower here and there aint bad.

[Proxy One]

haha yeah I remember moving all the pine trees off the road 2 years ago. That was super sweet but it did eventually clear up for a good weekend.

[Herblenny]

There is... They are setting that up for us at nantahala village.

[WE3RX7]

^ Nice, I've got a single coat of wax on now that should help to clean it faster after the rain!

[dregg100]

Yeah, roger on the no defrost, heat, air, A/C, etc. Damn blower doesn't work for some reason. :(

[My5ABaby]

Replaced it twice. The blower motor works when hooked straight to power. The fuse is fine. :07:

Well the forecast isn't too bad.

[Turbo II]

Today was awesome, except for a little drizzle I hit this morning. This evening doesn't look good at all. We might get slammed with that same system that's been spawning tornadoes in Tenn today. Wish I had brought a car cover!
