I wonder, what was the first thought that passed your sleep sodden mind when you first heard the thunder/rain and remembered that the windows were down on the Ford? (Been there, thought that!) Hope the car dries out with no long lasting ill effects. {:^) (Since it is a Ford, it should take this unfortunate incident in stride.)

Yes, Ford's deserve to be treated better than that, but since you "choose" to live where you do, your poor car just has to pay the price.

Being a Utopian like you, he left the car windows down overnight. We had a terrific thunderstorm, and the results were similar to yours. I chuckled inside and later I married him.

I feel your pain; I kid you not. I try to treat my car as I would a good friend, and I try to keep my friends from being blemished or injured for life. My sympathies indeed. In a few days I hope to read a happy sequel to this story and see pictures of a well-healed car. I think you had better consider entrusting your car to the much-less-temperamental environment in Utopia. Not to mention that if you can have it here by Saturday and leave its doors open, the 106-degree-forecast temps and undoubtedly low humidity along with windgusts of 38 mph from the NNW (see Accuweather for zip 97321) would make quick work of dehydrating the stubborn areas. Since you are free to be self-employed as you wish, perhaps you could consider that an investment in your assets. Leave Hoosierville (sitting, of course, on a plastic moisture guard)Wednesday morning, drive three long days, and be here in time for Saturday's furnace blasts. The best to you and The Ford.
