Absolutely. I bought the car to be driven and enjoyed. It's my daily driver, and it will continue to be for a long time.

If my car was a daily driver I would have no problem driving it in the rain, but since I have a work car to drive, I'd rather have the work car get dirty and leave my camaro in the garage on those rainy days because I hate washing my car. Once you have a clean car and a garage, the car actually stays pretty clean. I used to make fun of my friend with a corvette for always keeping his car clean, but now I see why he's like that. Now I just use a spray detailer and microfiber to clean the car every few weeks. It takes about 10 - 20 minutes to hit the main areas that get dirty. I've only had to use the garden hose twice so far. Last week I needed the garage to rebuild my kids pit bikes so I left the car out in the rain all weekend. No big deal for me, I just hate washing cars.

Mine is not a daily driver. Hasn't seen rain once, but I'm sure it will. No biggie....
It's the salt that's the killer!! Mine is up on jack stands in my garage for the winter........

To everyone in California worried about driving in the rain. JUST DO IT! It won't break! God forbid you guys had to deal with snow.

I'm driving it in a deluge today. Have to say that the new Nitto NT555 G2 tires are kicking ass. Much more stable on the fwy than the Goodyears were. No hydroplaning at all. And considering that they're substantially wider...I'm very happy.

My Camaro is my daily driver and my only car. Living in Florida, unless I don't drive between the months of April-October, it's going to get wet

If it's raining, do not go through drive thrus. There are no rain tracks/channels and the water pours right in the car when the window is rolled down. It comes in mainly right at the front edge of the top. Learned this one the hard way at the bank. I thought I was good because I was covered, but as soon as the window came down, I was soaked.
 I felt like a d.  The worst part is that it falls right on the power seat controls. Hopefully they are protected well.

I prefer not to drive it in the rain (don't get much in Vegas anyway) mostly so I don't have to clean it!
I drove to San Francisco for a week with my kids at Christmas, and half the way it a hard, driving rain. At no time did I feel uneasy like it would get squirrelly; drove perfectly the whole time.
