My Engine is done
My engine is done las friday was the worst day. I'm in Houston and on friday day is was raining really hard here. I got off of work it was my weekend I've been working 14hr day my girls is visiting me from vegas. it was supposed to be a great weekend we weregoing to go visit her family in timpson Texas. but anyways sorry for my ranting. well i was getting off around 4:15 it was raining hard i was taking the street but traffic in houston blows big one. I was taking my normal route home and it was flooded in some area i was driving really slow and when i got to shepard their was a newer corrola in front of me. i was following when i was going passed shepard the water got deep. the corrolla made it but the balt didnt 
. It stop right in the middle of the ******* river in midtown houston. i was just stuck and it sucked up water and i was stuck if i would of opened the door my car would have flooded inside too.then if that wasnt bad enough. these guy help push my car out of the water somewhat for me to open the door and get out. then their was this tow truck from knapp chevy. I was like coo cause i was on the phone with my roadside assistance. then i asked him to take my car to the dealer. ok now when he started to pull my car out of the water he was putting the hydraulic under my front end he started to lift and he cracked my body kit and crushed some of my body behind the passenger side tire. i was like WTF.. I talked to the dealer today and they said that my car sucked up water into my supercharger and engine. so i need a new supercharger and engine. Damn i mad and sad. I love my Balt

i run the short ram cause it floods big time on the feeders of I-45. it floods really bad where shepherd splits going south bound. actually both sides of the freeway flooded bad friday. i was near tidwell & 45 the water was up to the bottom of my door for a good mile, and jack asses in trucks kept flying by making huge wakes that hit my window. this was after it had stopped raining. it takes about 2 to 3 hours for water to flow out.

back on topic... the best way to avoid this situation is to avoid high water. if you see a flooded street dont drive through it. you cant see how deep it really is. you might even accidently drive into a ditch.
