Fuck I have left mine down for the last month, I would be glad for it to get wet.
I have to say it...
watch the water! the storm is upon us! lol!!!
LOL!
Don't feel too bad, I left mine down in the middle of winter and didn't know it rained that night. When I got in to go to work, my ass got freezing soaked! Lol
Around 1996 I had to do a month long business trip to Singapore in January. I'm in the northeast, it was the dead of winter. I parked my truck in the company parking lot, left my winter jacket and gloves in the truck, grabbed a cab to the airport. A month later I return late at night, freezing because I've been in the tropics for a month, just traveled half way around the world in 36 hrs, grabbed a cab to the parking lot. Much to my dismay, I had left the driver's door window open just a crack. The wind blowing across the large parking lot had drifted snow around my truck and into the window and created a snow slope from the top of the window down across the driver's seat, floor, center console and into the passenger seat. I wish I had a picture of it, truly unreal. I had to dig out the inside of my truck with my bare hands in light clothing in the wind and cold before I could begin to get in. On the way home my ass got wet as the remaining snow melted. I was one tired guy after all of that. A very memorable experience.
OMG! Lol!
Honest question: How do y'all forget to close your windows?
I'm not here to criticize, I'm just genuinely curious as to how it happens. I have a routine when I park my car to make sure the lights are turned off, press all power window buttons up to make sure all windows are closed (even if I know I didn't open any of them), take my keys and then manually lock the doors from outside (either with the key or the remote). Is having a little routine for simple things not common?
I had planned to drive somewhere later in the afternoon so I left my windows halfway down to keep the truck interior cool. Plans changed later, forgot the windows were still open. The next day it poured. First time I've done this in a few years, not a habittual offender.
If you leave the window open, is your vehicle not a new home for bugs when you get back?
No, no trash inside of the truck to attract bugs. About all we have here are mosquitos and black flies in quantity. I do occasionally find a cat in there, she likes to curl up and nap in the back seat if I leave a side window or the split rear window open. Usually she jumps out and takes off as soon as I open the door.
