At least he is smart enough that he isn't trying to dry it.

haha my neighbor was about to take a picture of me washing my car in the rain a few weeks ago...he was laughing at me

my reason was b/c i have to wash the wheels once a week to keep the brake dust from getting stuck on there! and it was two weeks worth of dust on the wheels...still, it's worth the upgraded pads every time I use my brakes hard.

With the new restriction of water use in my area, It's better for me to wash my car in the rain. I'll save money and the earth. If he actually had a bucket with a rag in it this photo would be even better!

I washed my suby in the rain once. In my defense, it wasn't raining when I started, and my car was black, and black cars + rain = dirtier looking than pre-rain. I wasn't using a hose though...

i think its kind of a good idea. i always wanted to try it...

however i wouldnt be using the hose, the whole point of doing it in the rain is that you are not having to pay for the water

I've done this twice, to get rid of the road sand/dirt/salt/whatever from my Tahoe trips. Yes, I even used the hose -- the rain wasn't pouring hard enough.
