Those pesky drips turn into messy undercarriages.

Yeah, rain at car shows kinda sucks. Been there, done that. Not too enjoyable.

Hope the fix on the 69 takes care of the drip ragxl1.
Okay just a few observations on my day cleaning Ruby.
First, I will never be putting shoe polish racing numbers on my car again. Time to buy some vinyl ones. I had forgotten to take it off when I got home & I guess it stayed on a bit too long. It took a lot of elbow grease & rain-X to get it off. I was worried there for a while that I had done permanent damage.
Then as I looked Ruby over getting ready to wash her, to my amazement there was very little on her. I had driven the probably 18 or so country miles to and from the drag race track plus 7 or 8 passes down the drag strip. I decided that a "whore bath" (waterless wash) was going to be more than good enough. The most amazing part was even under the rocker panels there was virtually no visible dirt. The microfiber cloths I used had no dark residue on them when I finished. There was no pollen build up which even in the garage we usually get especially with the high pollen count we have had recently, plus sitting out at the track in the woods all day on race day. There were only a couple of bug splats and it was like 11:30PM when we drove home.
Someone please tell me how does that happen? NO bugs, no road or track grime, virtually no pollen, I don't get it. But I won't argue with it either.
Weird huh?
I spent a long time detailing the engine bay instead.

Maybe your paint is so slick the dirt just flies off when driving.
Had a fun day in Sedona today. Had a nice breakfast here at the resort, then went to some art show (not my thing), then went to the Sedona Wine Festival. Drank lots of good stuff and bought a good cigar for the evening. Then we walked the shops on the main drag (not my thing) where I got to check out a Nikon D7100. I want one bad!
We came back to the resort, had dinner, then walked around some more. Even walked up to this real neat shop full of neat artsy stuff. I will TRY to snap a photo of the place as we drive by tomorrow. The skies are so clear and dark here I was able to see the Milky Way. It's even a bit too bright where we live to see it.
Only shot 10 "driving" photos today. I'm not into taking pics of crowds. Just not my thing.
I moved the camera on this one. However, if you look to the left, you can see the Foghorn Leghorn statue (below the no u-turn sign) at that neat shop.
Moved the camera again. :(
The traffic jam starts here. Still about a mile to Rt 89A.
Taking a ride on the Verde Canyon Train tomorrow. If I sit in a good seat, I'll try to shoot some good stuff.
Had some more wine and a cigar while sitting on our porch. The sky is beautiful, and the temps are in the 60's. I am so relaxed and chill right now. Life is good.
