In such cases, it's good to remember a couple of things. One, you have to make do with whatever weather you've got. And two (and this is debatable, IMHO): there's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.
Also, it helps to have a little bit of creative imagination to turn your rainy day into a photo op. Sometimes those raindrops can help you see the world in a whole different way...
In this particular instance, TSG decided to hang out in the back of the 4Runner for awhile, and shoot pictures looking up through the moonroof.

Hmmm. Yes, I would have to agree - a 4Runner IS "appropriate clothing" for a rainy day.
Nice rain drops. Frankly, almost anything, up close, gets more interesting.
re: 4Runner as appropriate clothing...
I must admit, as time goes by, I miss my 4Runner(s) more and more every day. Not that I haven't enjoyed tooling around in the Mazda3; it's fun to drive and gets good gas mileage. But I can't sleep in the back, and unpaved roads --indeed, any surface that requires more than 5 inches of ground clearance--are off limits to my little blue car.
Automotive hindsight being 20/20, I shouldn't have spent $$$$ to put a "refurbished" engine in my '98 4Runner. (Either that, or I should have picked a different mechanic.) That money would have been much better spent on a down payment on a new one.
Who knows, there may be another 4Runner in my driving future. I wonder if Toyota will ever develop a hybrid version...and will they please make one in British Racing Green? (Oh, okay, I'll settle for forest green...)
NOTE: This entry was posted before the campground flooding in Arkansas became headline news. Rather a dark coincidence, and doubly strange because we had intended a dissertation on an entirely different topic, but changed our mind at the last moment.
That Arkansas rain/flood was horrendous. Many of the victims seem to have been from a same extended family. Man.
Perhaps one should always go camping with a kayak attached to the top of one's 4Runner, hmmm?
