Motor completely dry!

Oh ya, So, it was all rainy today, and like a dang gangster, I was ridin' dirty to school, and the under side of the rubber mat was damp, but the motor was completely dry. Now I need to fix the shimmy so I can exceed 30 mph! Then add a blower, so I can maybe even go on the freeway!

Oh ya I'm white and Nerdy, I mean I'm ridin' dirty. Has anyone seen the Weird Al video for that song?

Edit: Yesterday it was so rainy that it was flooding! I had to almost use my car as a boat! And still, the motor was dry! Well, it wasn't quite that bad, but I did run over some good sized mud puddles, with no adverse affects to the motor.

I discovered that the shimmy only happens when I turn left, or change lanes to the left lane, but still generally only over 30 mph. My left blinker now works too. I think that since it's raining, that it somehow made the blinker work.
