Yes, this rain is driving us all crazy. You guys are driving your AMG's in the rain? Best be careful some bozo doesn't hit your car (seems so many people can't drive in the rain - I just don't drive mine in the rain anymore out of fear some clown will T-bone me....I've been hit 3 times....all in the rain during my last 25 years. My 2 seaters are in "storage" until the Ark hits ground again. 
I guess rain on/off for 3 - 4 months is not a bad trade off for approx 8 months of sunshine & zero humidity

I escaped NoCal last Friday before the rains started. Now I'm in Vegas, where it's been raining a little, but the desert dust in combination with the rain makes for a perpetually dirty car and for extremely frequent ESP yellow triangle displays.

Well I live in Seattle 
It gets kinda funny here in seattle - if there is sun for more than 1 hour, the convertibles start appearing on the streets with no tops - REGARDLESS of how cold it is. I won't do it (must be 65 degrees or more plus sun for me to be topless)..

Be carefuly guys, even when punching it. When you do it in the dry, there is rubber meeting the ground.
In the wet, you might end up hydroplaning. However fast and cool we may think we are (and we are ) we can't defy the laws of physics... at least not yet.
