Thunderstorm vs Roadster

Drove home yesterday in a thunderstorm from hell. Their was no hail thank goodness. But the down poor wouldn't quit. The top never leaked a drop. I was impressed. Trunk stayed dry also. They have come a long way. Anybody else had any water leak problems.

Had to drive home in a hellatious thunderstorm, doing about 35 mph on the interstate in fear of hitting anyone or anything that was infront of me. Very nervous but the car rarely lost traction and did not leak a single drop. Visualize you shower running at full power, now do some math and mutiply that times the area of the sky and that about equals the storm that I was in. Thats the only time that my Z has ever seen water, except to wash it, lol.

I got caught in a snowstorm one day.... and had a collision as I swerved into a metal rod near the road shoulder on the interstate (I was trying to slow down and pull over for a minute). I was going at 25-30mph. No leaks though. I just need to learn how to drive in the snow.
