Draining the pool you take with you

The chevoldsmobuiac had an annoying habit of collecting water in the trunk. We were never able to completely ascertain the exact source, as the water did not always appear after a rain storm. In fact, interseasonal periods seemed to make the problem get worse.

My theory is that the trunk temperature would lag that of the ambient air, and water would condense, run down the sides, and accumulate in the spare tire well. This had the unfortunate side effect of making the car smell like a moldy swamp. Also added was the sound of water sloshing around in the back when executing maneuvers.

My solution to this problem was incredibly unscientific.

I drilled two holes at the lowest point of the floor pan, then painted them with rustoleum.

No more water in the trunk!

Now, if I could just replace the window seals to keep it from getting into the doors...
