Roof Drains

This Alfa world of ours has lots of special moments. Like when you have to kick the fuse box while driving down the road to get the a/c to stay running.

Well today I had one of those moments. I found out my top drains are working properly. How? It was raining. Not just a little rain. Monsoon rain. Trees leaning sideways rain. Wish I was in the Milano rain. Wish I did not have to drive at all rain. But Abrianna just loves the rain, so no big deal. Anyways, my little green monster was urinating a nice clean stream on both sides. There was enough rain draining from the top to clearly identify where the drain water emerges from the bottom of the car. I already knew the top drains were clear from when I replaced the top. I blew them out with compressed air, and dumped water down the holes. Today, I was standing a good 15 feet away from the car and could see the water streaming from underneath.

I am serious here. I am not saying there was a drip coming from a certain location. The whole car was dripping, it was raining!! This was a stream of water. A continuous stream. Like pouring water from a pitcher.

The point is.... it was really cool!! Just another one of those special smiling ear to ear moments we Alfisti are so famous for.
