Golf for Life Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Facts are facts. I wash the car it rains, well sooner or later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlack151 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 DUUUUUUUUUDE You have no idea! The past 5 washes I gave my truck recently with no rain in the forecast, a huge dark cloud produces a thunder shower right as I finish. So on Saturday I checked the weather radar and nothing in site. Finished the truck and just as I bring in all the gear in comes the thunder shower.

egott_91 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Last Wednesday there was a 20% chance of a shower. Morning starts out beautiful so I decide to wash the Coly after a month (since Indiana has a monsoon season now). As I finish up and get everything put away it clouds up. An hour later a pop up severe storm that produced pea sized hail hit. I was like, well...at least it was clean for an hour. Ha. On a happier note, the QS/BG/Americana still beads up awesome after 2 months as well as the glass sealant that's been holding up since last winter.

Team Adam's Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Annoying part is, I was set to do my first batch of ribs on the smoker (first time since we moved here since the yard is now done) but the forecast says 60%+ chance of severe thunderstorms. So not wanting to start a 4-5 hour process only to get rained out I didn't. Of course... it never rained. Then today it just starts dumping again... mother nature is being a real... well... ya know.

TheBurninator Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Move to Texas. Yeah... but then he is stuck in Texas... That place is barely above a 3rd world country in terms of driving skill. Edited July 15, 2013 by TheBurninator Kustom_FX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Xtreme07ss Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I've come to learn that if the forecast here in NorCal is 10-20% chance of precipitation...it means 110% chance. I've was burned some many times this past spring thinking that a 10% chance meant it was very unlikely...but ended pouring anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Well duh Dylan. We had 20% chance of tshowers in the forecast today. Guess which part of the 20% fell on my two clean vehicles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txab Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Yeah... but then he is stuck in Texas... That place is barely above a 3rd world country in terms of driving skill. Don't even go down that road..... Beemer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natch02 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 You would be correct Dylan. It has been very dry here with no rain. I spent a few hours on the truck this pastweekend and it has been raining for the last 2 days with more to come!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyfox Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 This very thing happened to me today, only it happened as I was setting up to strip wash the 55. It was gorgeous this morning, with maybe 10-20% chance of rain the rest of the day. I should of known though, it has rained just about everyday here since getting home. With a strip wash, I suppose it doesn't matter that much, but still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Right now...I kinda like it when it rains on my Ranger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Reminds me of when I was in High School. Honestly it didn't matter if I washed my car that day or 2 weeks later. It would rain that day or the next, and it would be dry with nothing in between. And it went that way all summer long. To the point to where the neighbor lady would tell me to wash my car so it would rain. The whole month of June it didn't rain at all. Got a little sprinkle on my dusty car which made it dirty on July 3rd. Wash my car on the evening of the 4th of July and it dumps that night. To the point that it washed out the gutters.

I know the feeling tho. Washed mine for the first time in a while and what does it do the next day when it's suppose to be 'clear'? Yep, rains all day. Now we are in a 'heatwave' and not suppose to get any rain until Friday. If I drove the car to work tho it would rain every day I did so. It's an omen.

Schwag one Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It nice to know that us, as avid car care fans, ultimately control draught and flood based on our decisions to wash or not wash. My truck was a hot mess... hadn't been washed in weeks b/c I'd been too busy... wash it thrursday, its been raining on and off ever since. The rain started happening in CO because I was in CO Thursday thru Saturday. When I get there full time monsoon season will become a drought again. It's funny our realtor was caught in a mudslide.
