Freaking rain!!
I love rain BTW but every time I want to drive the 40 it is raining. That is a problem because I don't have the top on it. please discuss in depth.

Just keep the windshield up and big trash bags to cover the seats when you get out  Oh yea, and keep a rag handy to wipe off the inside of the windshield... Sometimes it pours there. My wife and I took my 40 to the glass place on Cross County many years ago (I think there is a paintball park by there now) and the raindrops felt like rocks all the way down Dorchester. Wasn't near as bad once the glass was in.

Just keep the speed up. It is only really bad when you are stopped, when a 18 wheeler passes you, or someone hits a puddle of standing water. All of the above happen to me atleast once a week while in a suit on my way to work. I do really enjoy driving it in the summer though.

I started to say rain suit like motorcyclists but being Charleston and being a Land Cruiser maybe a vintage looking sou'wester would be more appropriate. You know long blowy coat and one of those hats that the back brim is bigger than the front. Big old gumboots. The Captain Ahab look.

You are a little late Glenn. Jeremy said you were a little slow. Rather have a truck with a couple hole than to be a dumb ass.

Damn, don't bring me into this.
I think he is having body image issues. Maybe Mike needs a poncho and the 40 needs a car cover until self esteem resolves.
