What to do when it rains? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

WhiteXFire · 03-12-2006, 01:17 PM

So, the rain officially sucks. ATCO was going to try to dry off the track as of 8AM this morning, but they decided as of 9AM to close because the rain just wouldn't go away. It's not fun to drive in, especially right after a wash and wax, you can't really walk around/do anything outside, and the dreary weather makes you feel lethargic and moody. Therefore, I hate the rain.

How do you feel about the rain? What do YOU do on a day like today?

SilverTurboRidin · 03-12-2006, 02:52 PM

i actually like the rain its sleepin weather

jspek · 03-12-2006, 02:55 PM

yea i love the rain. perfect time to sit and do nothing.

Twin_Cam · 03-12-2006, 02:58 PM

Go jump my friend's car because his ignition system hates wet weather

Seriously though. I don't like rain that much either. Driving in it can be interesting. Like feeling like I have 250 horsepower because the wheels break loose easily.

I love rainly days, its days when people with lack of hp, can go out and finally do a burnout (aka ricer).

**TROLL** · 03-12-2006, 03:51 PM

I really wanted to go to Atco todayyyyyyy

GeforceXtreme · 03-12-2006, 05:08 PM

Wow the last few days have been great.. tons of things to do.. warm and sunny. I woke up this morning, saw that it was raining.. i knew today was just going to be bad. But man.. no one is around, its nasty out, and I have nothing to work on from college, work, or car related. Also I am off all next week from college, so there is no college work I can possibly think of doing..bah

**TROLL** · 03-12-2006, 05:53 PM

ha its not that i'm made of money its more that i havent worked on my car in forever so projects have just been piling up... working on the coilovers now but i doubt i'll do the control arms and endlinks today... unless someone who has done them before wants to come over and help me bang it out.
