The unthinkable happened, this is pathetic Options

So I'm on my way to pickup take-out Chinese for dinner last night. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) It's partly cloudy, and a nice warm Summer evening. There had been some typical pop-up Summer rain showers earlier in the day, but now it was dry and sunny. I hadn't driven the car all weekend, so I decided to give her some exercise to close the weekend.

I get about half-way there, and the cloud above me opens up and starts dumping buckets of water. By the time I got the top out of the trunk, I was already soaked. Then I started thinking about the engine. The lid no longer has a rain tray, so I get in and start hauling butt to keep the water out of the engine bay. Then I realize, in the 5 years of ownership of this car, I've never driven it in the rain! Hell, I didn't even know if the wipers worked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

By the time I got to the restaurant, it was dry and sunny again.

My poor baby got wet......I know, pathetic. I'll probably head out to the garage only to find a pile of rust now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

This really happened. Memorial day,1984. They called it a 500 year flood. We were out for the evening, and it had rained 12 inches in 6 hours. At 4 in the morning it finally quit raining, and we headed home. Driving down a major street, I drive into a lake in the middle of the road that wasn't there yesterday. You couldn't tell the dif between wet road and standing water. Just like the vw commercial, it floated. The water was up to the top of the door, so we took the top off, and threw it on the luggage rack. I stood up in the seat and jumped in the water. I never touched bottom. we then grabbed the rear bumper and swam it back to where we could touch bottom, and got the car out of the water quickly. I drove that car for another twenty years and over 400,000 miles before it succumbed to the rust. The electrical system was never the same. Still have the car in my graveyard. A 6 year old girl nicknamed it the boatswagen.
