I've always been a bit apprehensive about taking my DeLorean out into the rain- or even getting it wet, not knowing what leaks there might be, as well as the fact the engine is only covered by the louvres. So getting the distributor wet has been a concern, more when driving then just giving it a wash in the driveway.
So today it's been raining. And we only have this, my 2013 TDI Beetle, an Element and my daughter's car, and there's 4 of us driving. Normally we have my son's car, a 1970 Camaro, but that's getting body panels aligned and some other needed project car upgrades. So DeLorean time it was.
And it was very uneventful coming to work in the rain.
No noticeable leaks.
No sputtering engine.
No fishtailing on our twisty road due to the heavier engine in back.
It was pleasant all the way to work for a half hour in a constant, nice, rain.
This is a really great car and I love driving it.
