Yeah, I enjoy a nice drive in the canyon with the top down.
I haven't put my top down ever since I sealed up a rip it had. I'm afraid it'll rip again

Let's cruise it on a non-rainy day so we are all safe.

Instant dead with the S.Once I get to my parents house I'll have to do some obligatory victory donuts in the church parking lot near their house.
+1 on the donuts in the church parking lot. But yeah i do hope it'll pass for you. It is scary driving in the S over puddles.

I agree on a non-rainy day. I'm no pro at driving in the rain with the S.

Thanks for the kind words. Driving out of LA absolutely sucked. The rain was very heavy and the roads are in bad shape plus they don't handle runoff well. So I drove about 45-55 mph for almost three hours until I hit the valley floor where it stopped raining. My hands were cramped from gripping the steering wheel. Say what you will, but this car was not made for the rain whatsoever. It almost begs to hydroplane everywhere. So, screw that noise.

Good news is my top doesn't leak.

Glad you got there safely. When it rains and I'm driving the S, I baby the throttle. Too many times that I accidentally slide my back out and I would be all
