Default A moment of silence for Blk_is300's IS350...It saw rain today

Blk_is300 has never let his car see the rain.
From its date of purchase till today its never seen rain, I think once its seen some light drizzle but then he followed up by quickly washing it after...

We were all going "uhoh" at the CL winter meet if it did rain. But it never did....

well my friend Louis just went over to the Lexus dealer to turn over the keys for his IS350 to get the recall work done and, here's a summary of the convo

ffpower: Hey Ron, I saw your car at the dealer
blk_is300: Yeah I took it in for the recall, it's actually ready but I don't want to pick it up because of the rain
ffpower: Uh... dude, doesn't matter, they parked it OUTSIDE
blk_is300: @#%#%... Ok, I just I'll go pick it up then...



I guess the rain catches up with all of us sooner or later

Here's a pic for reference I hope Ron doesn't mind

Christ man. I thought this thread was about his car seeing rain for the first time and the driver being enough of a newbie totalled the car..

Frying the car in the California sun does far more damage than rain here.
