I picked up my Brand New Ray in 2016 and drove it 300km on the highway toward home in the rain. My first Corvette and I really had more anxiety than driving trouble ... if only I could just relax.
Once Spring Mountain COS was behind me, I am absolutely good to drive in the rain now. Those who have also gone know about the standing water figure eights lesson along with the ABS lesson. When it comes to the Corvette, I am not intending to keep it pristine for the second owner (condition will match depreciated price)
I tested a vinyl Western Canada Caravan Windshield Banner in 2018 all Summer to Winnipeg (MITM) and back ... then to the Cold Lake Air Show and back - all sorts of weather (including hail).
I finally hit a wild storm on the highway by Ponoka near the end of Summer that was hard enough to take letters off the banner (the banner finally failing - job complete).
Oh yes, the Stingray handled very well. Again much to the blessing of experiencing the Corvette Owners School and the ability to just relax with an understanding that it takes either
a lot of bad conditions to loose control or just the smallest bit of driver stupidity.
It's very hard waiting for my first set of tires to wear and then replace with all-season tires to extend my driving season ... but I am ...
If there’s a choice ... sure I’m not driving the car in a downpour, even though I know that I can.
