It rains and you don't drive it? To each their own I guess.
I've been driving mine in the dead of winter after some major snow fall.

^^ giS - I am like you and I think you had alluded that you were as OCD as me. Nice to know I am not known as the weirdo of the forum (lol) - Well, maybe I am regardless.

Seriously, I have a daily driver for crappy weather because here, we have salt, sand and crap like that all over the road. When the nice weather returns, I'll start driving on dry roads - It is cool to have a car that has the underbody all clean, the rotors and calipers, the engine bay, the wheel well and everything about the car as if it just left the assembly line. I know it is silly but that is just me and that is one of my quirk (one of many I might add)

Looks like getting a 500 just got more difficult.

^^ I am telling you, I thought 2020/2021 were bad years but 2022 ain't on a good path either - I am feeling more thankful mine is sitting in the showroom ready to be car carrier'ed to my house....

yep same. I ride my daily to avoid all of the things you mentioned above when the roads are wet, including the other drivers. We can be the quirk brothers @wthrman2 🤣🤣

I know but keep in mind that we are all different and to me, it's just something I enjoy doing. I have always had a nice weather car, and not because of the price tag associated with, it just who I am.

There's a white/white 500 at Lexus of Orange County. Any interest? I'm assuming it won't be available much longer.
