Reply to "No Canadian Pussies"

I have to admit that I have been a big pussy for years.

I never went out if the weather looked bad. I never washed the car with water. I avoided any small puddle if I saw one on the road. I never used my wipers. I drove with one eye on the sky and clouds at all time. I hunted weather reports before any trip.

What an idiot I was.

For all the rest of you trailer and garage queen owners, let me tell you something. Driving in the rain adds a whole new dimension to Pantera pleasure.

This car drives as well in the wet as it does in the dry. I took out a pound or two of air out of the tires all around but don't know if that was even necessary. It's stable, doesn't aquaplane and sits solidly on the road even in the pouring rain.

I had no fogging, no visibility problems and those little wipers work just fine when things gets really wet. A little Rain-X also goes a long way.

I saw an exciting new way in which these cars look so unique. There's nothing like watching those fat 13" rear tires pump water out the back. And the spray off the rear wing and other sharp lines of these beautiful cars is a thing of beauty. It was an awakening for me and if it wasn't for the commitment from our whole group to make the Great Canadian Event happen, then I would have missed this incredible experience.

Coz and many others have moaned for years about the fools who don't drive in the rain. And I can't believe it took so long for me to see the errors of my ways. Now that I have done it, there will never be a problem going anywhere because of weather.

Rain or shine, this cat loves to romp.
