Default wow poor miata!

So I'm cruising after working out on my way home. Its been about 15min constant rain, not super hard but constant enough where windshield wipers have to be used and the ground it wet .....Well I see this red miata at this real estate office...and the top was down!!!!!! It looked liek it had been parked there for awhile. Poor owner....Everything was soaked and getting worse probably. At least the windows were up. I mean I had my top down in the rain a lil earliar to but I never do it when parked and its raining.

thought about it.......but the owner should have been more responsible. the forecast was rain, it had been raining/sprinkling all day and dark grey skies all over all day. In Wa you never leave your top down parked in those conditions! Driving well thats another thing

well never put a miata top down before, I was thinking about just going into the building or something but also surprised none of his coworkers told him.
