I'm going to have to drive in the rain.

[Jack_Toepfer]

I'll be getting a weather beater soon enough so it's not a huge deal. It doesn't help that I'm OCD about keeping the car in immaculate condition. The Redeye makes me happy every time I drive it so I'll daily it every chance I get.

I was just kidding man. Some people like their stuff so clean that they can’t drive it anywhere... you’re not alone, but I didn’t sign up for that. I’m at the opposite end of the spectrum. 3 Buffalo winters and raised 2 kids in it. Was also the neighborhood burnout machine and community track whore. 45k miles in 3 years.

this week we have had dust storm (like that one I put up in the photo section last month) and hail (in parts of town almost softball sized). Come to west texas, we'll make a man out of you

If your going to drive it in the rain just put a filter sock on. I keep mine in my glove box just in case. It fits my LMI intake.. I also use it if I’m doing long drives on highways just to maintain a bit more longevity and keep it clean.

Didn’t the whole state of Texas shut down over 1/2” of snow and 30F temps a little while ago?

Would a filter sock even help for water?

lol that was the wimpy side of the state. we had 4-6" and basically a week of near zero temps. This wrecked natural gas production (solar, wind, nuclear all showed very little production fluctuation) because, despite two decades of warnings, the Texas ERCOT which controls the grid refuses to spend money to winterize the production and generation of natural gas. F-ing morons (and more than half of all my electric bills are for "infrastructure" and we pay the highest electric rates in the nation). Texas ain't smart. Many deaths; many fires; 450 Walmarts closed... Out here we never lost power or water but we were lucky.

But the gov is busy pointing fingers instead of fixing the process. Such bullshit.

Gotta throw some jokes.

its a car, drive it in the rain, what’s gonna happen?

my lord. The internet brings every type together.

seriously, this has to be the dumbest question I’ve ever heard on this forum that doesn’t have to do with politics. And that’s saying something.

it’s one thing to not want to get it wet, but to think the car won’t function right in the rain or something, 😂

for this photo shoot of my car, we actually used a rain machine, and then once it was done I had 6 professional detailers come out like a nascar pit crew and clean the car, afterwards I had it towed to a dealership and had the engine and transmission replaced.

I now drive the car with a duct tape around the intake so nothing ever gets inside. EVER

now please, defend yourself.

Car dissolves in the rain.

Obviously not made of sugar?

 

[Hickster]

Just looked up K & N web site and the sell a sock that is for wet conditions. I took the blank plate and running straight filter. Twice the filter got wet and sucked the membrane in. Tomorrow I am going to purchase a dry sock. Cheaper than a $50 filter.

Hick you gone to school or something man? That doesn't sound like you

 

[Hickster]

That is what 4 weeks in the hospital will do fer ya. Close to calling it quits. Nope,,, not me,, but I will be back on the shine tomorrow night.

Glad to see you're still up and around

 

[Hickster]

Up is still a possibility. Taxes due tomorrow,, so that will tell the tell,, but thanks. It took alot of wind out of me. 3 different hospitals and ugly nurses made my ex scape even shorter. To open my gun room and knife room and see it empty was a heart breaker. 1st I called Laurie and she told me she took em out. all 360 knives were still there so I knew it was an amurture. One heart hattack fer the day was enough.

 

[Hickster]

Broken neck will do that fer ya.

Yes it helps It’s Supposed to be water resistant to a point

 

[jroyk]

Unless I missed it, we’d still like to know how that happened. Glad you’re out.
