I was driving my old civic 4dr on Van dyke road to the store during one of last years hurricanes. I hit a part of the road that was flooded. my car lost control and i landed in a ditch. I thought i hydrolocked the engine with my CAI, because as soon as it happened my car just shut off and wouldnt start. My car was flooded all the way up to the center console. I couldnt get the car running for two weeks. i was very lucky i didnt hydrolock it. I had to change the ecu, plug wires, plugs, distrubtor, battery, and all my fuses LOL.

p.s A county truck cruising around pulled me out and a kid about 17 in a jeep towed me home 2 miles away.

I was racing down 60 in brandon on a friday night when I was 19 and go by a cop while doing 110. I haul ass on a bunch of side roads and finally get to the checkers on 60 and park my car and sit at a table, 5 minutes later a cop car comes up going the wrong way in the drive threw. I just sit there and shit myselfhe grabs a kid out of line and starts to cuff him, drove home and changed my undies.

arguing with a cop on weather or not you can drift in a fwd car, then proving it to him same cop gave me a ticket for reckless driving a few days later. asshole,

flying around the neighbor hood after a light rain and trying to take a turn at normal speed(30+) and hydro plaining and sliding in to a embankment with the whole neighbor hood looking.
