Rain-Rain, GO AWAY!!

Messing up my Aston Martin V8 Vantage test two weeks ago was bad enough, but in the next seven days I'm scheduled to drive everything from a Gallardo Spyder to a Ford Mustang GT500 in "sunny" Southern California. There's also a cool Mopar car show this weekend that I might catch part of...assuming it isn't raining. Yeah, I know the rest of the country doesn't have any sympathy for what passes as weather here in Los Angeles, but I offer this in response -- When we pay the real estate prices (and taxes) that we pay, and deal with the traffic we deal with, we are allowed to gripe eveytime it's not at least 68 degrees with fair to mostly sunny skies (which it hasn't been in a long time, btw). What, do you think I live here for the politics? The rich culture? The fresh air? Hell, if I wanted this type of weather I'd save a bunch of cash, greatly reduce my kids' chances of contracting lung cancer and just move to Portland! There'd even be a reason for me to register to vote in that state! Anyay, I'm driving the new Ford Sportrack home tonight. By tomorrow I should know how effectively the weatherstripping keeps out the water.
