"sunny" California

So, through the vagaries of the rental car industry, I've ended up with a convertible in sunny California. Now, it isn't the candy-apple-red Ford Mustang convertible that I scored in Boston that one time, which gave the friend I was picking up such an easy choice when I asked "my car or yours" for the drive to dinner, but still it's a convertible. (It is, in fact, a Chrylser Sebring convertible.) And it's raining today, not just spitting, raining. And it's supposed to rain for the rest of the week. In sunny California. At least it's warmer here than in Ottawa, I guess.
