What a nasty day here in NY/NJ - pouring when I was leaving for the office.

I wanted to take the new P car, but was hesitant to drive in the rain.

Partly becasue the car is still new and has 150 miles on it - but do you get concerned with the convertible tops and the rain? Are the P car tops "leak free"?

Any of you guys take the cab out in the rain? Or is yours a sunny weather car only?

Thanks,

I drive mine in the rain... no problems at all. I find if you are always looking at the weather you will never dive your car. I know because I WAS one of those guys and then I came to the realization that I was just keeping it pristine for the next owner. Come trade in time the dealer will not give you a penny more because the car was never driven in the rain... now go enjoy your new ride.

 

Well put JP. Drive it in the rain, rain doesn't hurt the car.

 

I had a guy call us on our Turbo S Cab, wanting to trade in his 2008 Turbo Cab with just 1900 miles?


For Gawds sakes man- DRIVE THE CAR!!!!

 

^^ 1. Did you guys make the sale?
2. You have a Turbo S cab and didn't post pics?

 

No I don't. I also never wash it. Water gets on the rearview mirrors and it's over. Boom! *snaps fingers* Just like that the car is ruined completely. I was actually the one who called Stoppie with my 1900-mile cab, and he specifically asked me if I had ever pointed my garden hose at it. I was like "Yeah, once", and Stoppie was like, *click*

 

As a Porsche dealer when someone tells me their car "never saw rain" it makes me laugh (of course on the inside and not offending the client). The roof will not leak, the car won't melt. Drive it. It's a car. A brilliantly executed car, but a car none the less.

PS Jox is right, you do have to wrap the mirrors with plastic wrap if the car is going to get wet. If the mirrors get wet you do have a pretty serious problem. Avoid that at all costs.

 

I was going to post a facepalm here, but that doesn't properly convey my thoughts regarding OP.

 

Heck! Can't really comment on driving a cab in the rain since I have a coupe, but I echo everyone's sentiment about "just drive it!"

In fact, slap some good winter rubber on some 19" wheels and go drive it in the snow! I drive mine year round as long as the snow is not too high given the low clearance. But, with AWD and snow tires, my turbo was awesome on snow and ice. The only thing you have to worry about is all the other drivers on the roads.



Oh...and getting water on the rearview mirrors. Never do that.

 

Sold and Delivered before I could really grab decent pix.
