If I'm just going to school I'm going to take my sister's civic (4door LX, what fun!). If it's one of the days I'm going to kick it and chill with my girl I'd rather take my S. Latez!

Well, I hate to tell you what I did, but what the hey! Bought my S2K, marched the salesman out to the used car lot and said "I want that
at your cost!" It was a 98 Accord LX. After a wee bit o bargaining, I walked (or drove away) with 2 cars. I drive the 98 Accord when it rains, when I go shoppping, when I go the local supermarket etc etc.

My S2K sits idle waiting to rev up on a nice sunny Nor Cal day!!!!!

I too drive my S2K daily, rain or shine. I'm on the waiting list for underground parking at my office, but that is still probably eight months off. So it gets rained on. To help protect the top against all the rain, I just bought the roadster top care kit from Autopia, which includes a waterproofing treatment (among other things). I had planned on applying the waterproofing this weekend, but since my car was just hit I have other car-related priorities. By the way, thanks for the suggestion on the body shop enLihtninBoy.

Rain or shine, my S2K is up to the challenge...But I won't pull any stunts like I do when it is dry.
