    Praying to the Rain Gods

    Anyone check out the weather forecast for Columbus Ohio next weekend? YIKES. I'm driving 1000 kilometres to the event and would prefer sun and wind in my hair. Well, at least there will be more room in the trunk with the premium top already on the car.

    I'd still rather drive it than haul it.

    I'm with you there, go for it, the premium top will keep you dry. We love ours and have tested it extensively

    This was my drive back from our club spring cruise in April.

    What you need to know about Ohio, Indiana and most of the midwest weather is that 5 days out is WAAAAAY to long to be accurate. For that matter the day before (and many times 4 hours before) is questionable. Just the same I'm keeping my fingers crossed too I've attended every year but one since 2001 and can't remember a year where it was totally dry the entire weekend. I've spent many hours during those years sitting under a tent in the hotel parking lot having some of the best times of my life sipping beverages with a group of my best friends while watching the raindrops!

    See ya' there, rain or shine---

    HAHA. john, I've had a couple all days soaker drives under the top myself. The damn thing takes up half the trunk so part of me is thinking rain isn't a bad thing. At least then the co-pilot can pack all she wants.

    Jeff, I'm counting on an unpredictable weather forecast. Regardless, the daytime beers, evening scotches and lively conversation will be worth the trip again.
