Today when I got to work and parked after driving in the rain, the car started to steam. I'm hoping that it was just the rain water on the radiator causing it to steam for a a minute or two. I've never had anything like that happen on any car. Has anyone else have this happen?

Where was the steam coming from?
I have seen my current dd steam from time to time during rain. Usually though, it's coming off the brakes or off the muffler.

It was white steam from the front of the car through the grill.

quite possibly moisture getting in the grille and hood vents, sitting on the motor?

It happened to me after I washed mine. I'm not concerned.

I went out for a spin during my lunch break and it didn't happen again. I'm not worried. Thanks everyone.

It's so badass that it thought it'd have a smoke.. then realized this is 2008.
