Since buying my FDII Pat in '09, I have come to love driving in the rain. Tonight the streets were flooded to the top of the sidewalls, pea-size hail was tossing around by the bucket-full, and I was cozy, warm and happy with CCR loud and throwing a rooster-tail high and wide on the way home. A good day indeed!epper:

That's the most romantic thing I've ever read.

I bought mine in December and our worst weather months for wind and rain with the odd snowfall are January and February.

I quickly learned to love this vehicle in crap weather...it eats snow, isn't phased at all by rain and is only minimally buffeted by wind.

I service anything in the woods that uses electricity...so mills, chemical plants, fish farm hatcheries, mines, there even is the odd guy who has a welding shop set up back in the bush...lots of times during storms they would be surprised that I made it in but the Patriot just chews its way through and over anything I saw last winter.

And is almost fun to do it in.

I agree that driving in the rain is more fun with a Patriot.
