Cars with no roofs, immune to the effects of rain/snow

[thedarkwolf]

In light rain it isn't a problem as long as you are moving it all just blows over you. In heavy rain/down pour, at least with my miata, you get a light mist being sucked back up into the car and on to the inside of the windshield blinding you. Had to pull over under a bridge and put the top up when I got caught on the interstate in a down pour. Haven't done it in snow yet, have a hard top, but sounds like it would be fun.

They won't do it more than once on purpose.

Have you ever ridden a bike in the rain?

It's not that bad.

Big difference. Try driving in the rain with no top. It's miserable, especially if the temperature is 80 or below.

Yes, many times. I usually looked for shelter as soon as the rain got heavy. Bike + wet road = not a good time IMHO.
