    ^^^No offense, but why would anyone drive thru a "puddle" that is deep enough for your engine to suck in water? I understand shooting across a puddle because you didn't see it or it was small. But a puddle that's deep enough to get your engine to hydrolock is not something you sneak up on, right? So why drive thru it? Why not just U-turn and go another way? Hell, I don't tailgate in the rain because I have my turbo intake down low behind the fog light and am worried about overspray mucking up the filter. So I damn sure would freak out if I saw a puddle that could be deep enough to suck up water from.


    Sorry guys, but if you can't spend $50 to avoid this or be careful enough not to drive out into a lake.....you will get what you deserve.

    it was heavy rains, and I didn't see the puddle until the last second...I couldn't go around it because the one side of the road that wasn't flooded, there was a car right there. so believe me, I've been driving my car lowered for the past 2 yrs and thought about swerving...and the puddle was right there as I turned on to the road. I just couldn't see it until the last second due to the heavy ass rains.
