So wensday morning here in little rock was a clear sky but showing a 40% chance of rain so i took the car in to check something at work and it was still clear when i got home so i said screw it and grabbed the phantom before i met some friends at on the border for lunch around 1:30, i was grand time with my friends but failed to notice the biker wearing a harley shirt dart out the door around 2.... Shortly after that someone pulled the plug and it went from clear sky to where the hell did this come from?

So my friends had to leave for work and i spent better part of 2 hours sitting at the bar drinking and swapping scars and motorcycle story's with a waitress until it died down. So i got as much water off my seat as i could and took off, The trip in and of it's self wasn't too crazy but it was a eye opener and I May have been driving like a granny.

learned two things from this

#1 road markings SUCK when they are wet, the front end decided it wanted to go right when i was getting in the turn lane to go left

#2 Wet Leather Seats are Not good... I was running late when i got in and i was wearing my only pair of clean now wet jeans so i grabbed a hair dryer and commenced to drying them when i noticed a odd brown stain in the seat of the pants turns out the seat dyed my pants underwear and im pretty sure dyed me brown.

All and all i had a good laugh about it.

Glad ya made it okay but are you sure it was the seat that gave you the brown stain and not something else???

Are you sure it wasn't the wet road marking incident that caused the brown stain?

Sorry bro', just couldn't resist...

It was one of those storms where you see the wind blowing rain sideways and generally really nasty, i waited till it was "just rain" before i braved it.
