I was sitting at a large intersection with three lanes on each side of a grassy median, waiting for the light to turn green. I noticed an Infrared LC far ahead on the other side that was slightly visible. I think we both noticed each other. When the light turned green and we were moving closer to each other, he honked and waved excitedly before I could get my hand out of the window to wave.

I saw a white one sitting at stoplight by my neighborhood today. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone drive an LC in the rain.

I think I would daily an LC if I had one. I’ve driven an RC-F in the rain though.

Yep, count me as another daily driver. I've been in the rain with mine plenty of times. I just give her a bath as soon as possible afterward.

I'm a daily user as well, tho I try to avoid rain if I can just because it's annoying. Got caught in a rare rain cloud today! Luckily tomorrow is a detail day anyway!

Love this!

I frequently mutter to myself while observing other drivers, "If you paid for the turn signal option on your car, you might as well use them."

Here's a spotter in reverse: someone was spotting me! I met my wife at the mall for dinner tonight. As she was leaving a few minutes before I did, she saw the owner of this IS taking photos of my LC. They got chatting, and he texted her the photos that he took.
