	Okay, I've said enough. Here's a Pantera question.



	I haven't had the pleasure of driving the "P" in the rain yet. How

tough is

	it? And, specifically, how does it perform with the exposed engine

bay? Are

	there any precautions I should take before venturing out into El

Niņo?

	=======



	I've driven a little in the recent Calif. rain.....Make sure you

EASE out from stops...

	I've fish-tailed a lot (intentional and un-intentional)...Make sure

you have a good

	defroster too....As far as the water making the engine bay

dirty...YUP !  Big time,

	but then I have a polished ZF, and I am a neat freak.  My biggest

worry is 

	NOT being seen, and getting hit....
