Default driving top down in rain. priceless

so today, after work, rain finally stopped in NYC, so i put down the top down...
road was still wet but didn't care.

By the time i got in to NJ, rain started to come down. but what the heck, i just kept on driving. Now rain got quite heavy, i hear all these rain hitting my car, wiper moving crazily. However no drop of rain get into cabin! how cool is that!!!!

Loud music with wiper on, scent of rain, sound of rain with VTEC & a cigaratte was just pure SENSATION.

You guys should try it too.

That is one of my favorite things about the s2k. As long as you are doing at least 65 mph, it is almost impossible to get wet in this car. I drive to work in my suit in the rain without even thinking twice. More gas = less wet

I do it all the time. My favorite is the look on people's faces when you drive past them!

I did the same thing the other day when I was coming home from my night class. I was driving on the parkway doing about 60-65 when it started to rain out of no where. There is no where to pull over really without going up onto the grass on the side of the road so I kept driving and didn't get a single drop in the cabin, it was great . People were looking at me like I was crazy .
