Default Don't you have a roof?

Anyway, no, aparently we've had a super-size orange soda dumped on it, I dumped a starbucks coffee, someone else dumped a dew on it. It seems the alcantara takes a lickin and keeps on tickin' as they say.

Default Never guess where I found Alcantara

The pad if my cycling shorts is made out of the stuff. If it can handle a 50 mile ride, it can handle the rain.
