haha, it kinda sucks when we are not prepared for the rain. i got soaked bad because i forgot to bring a jacket instead i wear a sweater. i drove the xB this afternoon and its pretty fun, but getting out of the xB is bad! so:

the good: rain washes my xB, and thats all i can think of the good. lol!

the bad: pain in the a$$ to get out of the xB dry, road visibility is bad, traffic, people driving 20mph in a 35mph zone, front wheel slip when taking off (fun, but kinda dangerous), and water go inside my xB when i open the door.

It's snowing in Kansas City. :-D

lucky!!!

just a quick update: it was raining and it was windy on Jan 2nd. the wind blew one of the canvas that was covering my bro's new Tacoma and the fallen pipes scatched its fender and hood. ill be sure to take some pics of the scratch on my bro's truck. heres an idea of how it looks like before it bought down...

after the clean up, see the bent pipes? (we are throwing the whole thing away because on the middle of the canvas, it has a big rip...)

now, for my side. the wind blew the canvas on my side too. good thing is that my xB parked farther in, or else, the front part of the canvas would've scratch the xB. after my dad came home from work, he tried to fix it but the pipes were bent...

this pipe wont go in more because of how bent is it...

you can see the bent pipe...

we are trying to let our landlord know about this, since he is the one who put this up...

well, i dont feel like making another thread about SoCal rain, so i just use this one.

if you're in SoCal, you know that it rained pretty hard last night. well, when it first started to rain, i quickly move my xB out of the tent. then once the rain start to rain heavy, this happened...

i am so glad that i moved my xB out of the way, or else, that pipe would fall on my car.

caden_stargate · 02-18-2006, 06:52 PM

I'd be so angry if that fell on my car. A couple years ago it rained really bad and had high winds and stuff and if my dad hadn't moved my toyota it would have been squished by a giant tree.

First off, props for the ghetto/redneck garages!

Secondly, I have been waiting to remove my front emblem to do a mod to it, so thinking the other day that since it hasn't rained in a while I'll take it off now. Today, however, I was driving around without the emblem on and the water came in through the hole on the front grill. Messed up my engine compartment. Whaaa whaaa.

Rant over.

maybe its time for your landlord to make a real garage or roofted parking space.
lol!! I quickly dried my xB after I got home last night. its still raining today and probably tomorrow, my wife's complaining why I used her Sienna when I went out this afternoon, lol!!!!

Sorry! Like are you not in the same place I am or did it only rain on ME??

I had to drive home like that bc it rained Sat night too so no use washing the boxes!!

bB626 · 02-20-2006, 04:06 PM

It looks worse now....they are really the same color as my box right now! Sad!!! I can't even bring myself to drive to the car wash....my neighbor asked my daughter if we took that "thing" to the mud!!! lol

bB626 · 02-20-2006, 04:20 PM

boxd_up_2 · 02-21-2006, 02:16 AM

LuvmyxB · 02-21-2006, 02:27 AM
