Accidentally went through huge puddle today ...

Had some mild to moderate rain in my town yesterday. No big deal.

So I went through what looked to be an inch of water ... turns out it was about 6"+ deep!

But then I remembered that I didn't have a CAI.

So I gunned it a little and made a small boat wave as I plowed through it.

Thank God I never installed one of those blasted CAI's!

there is another issue that will come out of flying thru puddles. a friend of mine used to love thrashing thru bigg puddles with his G35 and from the impact of the sitting water hitting his bumper it knocked his bumper loose. If you put your hand on the bumper it would shake like it was about to fall off. Just a thought for you who enjoy crashing into sitting water

Please post in appropriate sections and stay on topic.

posting about how puddles are cool because you dont have an CAI is hardly performace related.
