Play in the rain? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Raining and looking really shitty outside. Kinda hesitant to take the 86 for a drive. Call me crazy but I really don't want her getting dirty haha. What do you guys think? Would you play in the rain?

I just did this morning. You can see all that in Drive chat.

I don't take mine out in the rain purely because I have my tC to drive around. You will be fine if you don't mind her getting wet

. Dirt can always be washed off.

My BRZ is just past 1 year old and I've been able to avoid driving it in the rain.

Water gets dirt everywhere!

I was driving my FRS in the rain today. Ended up cleaning my car as it became sunny an hour or so later haha

I just did my very first "wet" track day at Sonoma Raceway this morning. Friggin insane down pour! Spun out once (with everything on) but didn't really push it. Thankfully it dried up enough later in the afternoon to get some actual grip

I find that mudflaps help keep the car a lot cleaner on dirty roads. Whenever I park the car after driving in "unclean" conditions I always look at the flaps and every time they're covered in crap...crap that would have otherwise been on the sides of the car.

Plus I like the look of the Rally Armor flaps on this car.
