On Saturday I was attending a club event. We drove our cars up a lovely
mountain canyon. I was a gorgeous day, but on the way back it changed
quickly. I found myself in hard cold rainm in a t-shirt and shorts. My
top has a tremendous rip, so there is no point to putting it up. For a
breif moment it even hailed (It was quite cold). We are used to these
types of weather changes in the mountains, so it did surprise me that
much. Luckily I haven't installed my new carpets yet, so I didn't need to
worry about wet cloth sitting against the metal for days. I just smiled
and enjoyed the reaction of other motorists as I drove the car through the
rain and hail. It was the funnest time I've had it the car this year.
