Yes it does. Fall 1974, on my way west on the NYS Thruway and down NY 13
towards Ithaca and, ultimately, Watkins Glen for the US Grand Prix. Borrowed
'52 MG-TD (belonged to a lifelong friend of the family and then soon-to-be US
Representative), then-girlfriend next to me, pouring rain, top down....
Of course, if you maintain a reasonable speed, you really don't get all that
wet (except from the wake of passing trucks)!
