Default Facebook in the rain

So last night I took my chances with the forecast and decided I would put the doors and top back on in the morning. Well, it rained and I didnt put anything back on. Funny thing is I'm on facebook this morning and see a friend posted a pic and it was me, pouring rain commuting to work, how irionic. To my defense, the track suit was the closest thing I had to waterproof! LOL

LOL, that's funny, I was in the same predicament. I was coming back from Des Moines to Omaha on Saturday and the bad weather started rolling in right when I got into Omaha and was praying for the rain to hold off, I got home and into the garage just as the wind picked up and rain started coming down. I got lucky, but I've driven through monsoons w/ the ol' YJ. It's fun at times, other times.....not so much!

haha I did the same thing. My gf and I were downtown all afternoon and before we left I looked at the radar and said maybe I should throw my front two panels on (shes not strong enough to lift the top). I did, we headed to the old market, it never did rain untill we got back to west Omaha. We stopped to eat at BWW and came out with it pouring down rain. I could care less if it rains in my back seat but people sure did look at me funny.

Interior is great! It needed to be cleaned and I wasn't trying to clean it LOL. Calling for thunder storms on the way home, but I have my trash bags handy now!

Yeah, I was at about 680 & Irvington when it started to rain around 7:30pm, then it stopped, I hit Maple off of 680 and it started again, then stopped. saw the clouds off to the West, was thinkin "crap" but part of me wanted it to rain bcuz it's priceless the looks some people give. Finally got to 192nd and all the neighbors were having a party, watching the front come in and looked at me like I was crazy.

I left mine in the driveway overnight recently with a 10% chance of rain. Well it rained, and though I did not have to drive to work in it, the seats were a little wet for the ride in.

It has happened to me a few times and the interior dries out pretty fast!

Yup everything works great! I've had it rained in before never on the way to work though or in a downpour where the wind doesn't take it over you.
