Flood

Anyone get caught in the flood from the rain yesterday? I hate driving in the rain when some car going the opposite direction splashes water all over my car. Scares the crap out of me sometimes.

Thats why I try and not drive in the left lane during heavy rains - scares the crap out of me as well -- loud noise as it hits the windshield and cant see for that 1/2 second...

Under normal circumstances 4-5 feet of water is considered safe, for you it would pass your head and you would drown, so flare gun is not as important as swimees for you arms

The belt always floods. Even with little rain.

Did his engine hydrolock?
