Why is it everytime I decide to wash or detail my car, it rains? Techinically I guess it's called sprinkling, but in Cali it's ALL considered rain. I decided to give the car a wash before thursday's meet, and within a few hours it started to rain. Just my luck....I guess if anybody wants the weather forecast from now on, just ask when I'm going to wash my car.

Move to San Antonio. Parts of Texas have not had rain for years.
