for me its easy: my "baby" gets all attention it can get and its cash investet and mostly shined up. I just dont want to spoil all this due to an accident (worst) or being all messed up dirty.
but hey, car's not made of sugar...

Ode to Rainy 911 in Seuss minor...
I will drive her in the rain. I will drive and feel no pain. I will drive when roads aren't dry. I will drive beneath cold grey sky. I will drive her here or there. I will drive most anywhere. To stay at home, I can not stand. No drive outside is the plan at hand. Drive your Porsche! Today! Today! Today, I say! Without delay!

I live on a beachfront so the car gets a lot of salt air. Salt air blows in under the car and everything has a salty layer. So when it's raining I'm out there blasting through the biggest puddles really feeling it hit the bottom of the car to give it a good clean rinse.
911 and I have lived at the beach for 15 years and the amount of rust is very minimal, whereas Japon cars almost dissolve before your eyes

Gulp, I know what you mean. I was driving through the countryside at speeds between 100mph and 120mph and there was a sign up saying surface flooding. I could see a few puddles on the side of the road and thought "flooding duh" and carried on. Argh I came over a slight rise and saw about 80 yards of water on the road. Luckily I had enough sense not to slam on the brakes but kept going. The 911 behaved really well and just kept going in a straight line as you can imagine, but it was a bit scarry. |

For those of you getting heat stroke from the defroster, remember that (assuming you have it) you can run the A/C and the defroster at the same time. The A/C has the added benefit of removing a lot of the moisture from the air in the cabin. I daily drive my 84' Carrera in Portland and am typically more worried about rock chips than water.

As a Portland driver, I've noticed the ruts in the highway fill up in heavy rain and then you're hydroplaning all the time.
