Summer storage! The 190 is my daily driver during the winter, and I use the '91 MR2 in the summer. The MR2 has never been on a wet road, and the Merc has been in the rain no more than twice in the last several years.

Being as how I'm retired, I only use the cars once a week or so and typically don't plan any driving when it rains - keeps the car clean underneath, and I don't run the risk or being bashed by dumb LA drivers in the rain!

When it rains in LA there are probably more accidents than a blizzard in Chicago!
