That was kind of how I felt. I got caught in a few thunderstorms and just kept moving. Stopping at stop lights was not fun. When I got home I used towels to dry everything off. The carpets did get wet so I left it out the next morning to dry out.

I got caught in a big hailstorm (yeah, for Carbon Fiber) and when I got home scooped out more than a 5 gallon pail of hail out of the passenger compartment.When I was done there wasn't much moisture left - just the carpets were damp because the hail was still frozen. Did the same thing - dried the seats etc off with a towel and left it out to dry.

Driving a Cobra is like a Harley - you probably won't deliberately take it out in a rain storm, but recovery isn't all that hard.

My wife was not with me on this drive, she would have freaked.
