I talked with Billie earlier and they have no plans of cancelling the show. See ya there!

Man we are some slackers! Ya'll just want to meet at moreland ave around 8, then cruise to the Target for the police escort?

Bob and I plan to be passing by Moreland around 8. I'll check the site in the morning, so if you plan on being at the gas station, let us know. If know one responds, we'll probably just pass on by and not exit, so let us know. Hope for decent weather!

Bob, Mike and I were on 285 when my drivers side wiper came loose and quit wiping. Exited at Hwy 78 and made it to a gas station. Fixed the wiper then thought about all the rain we had just driven through. Bob and I decided to turn back, it was just to nasty and the radar this morning looked like it would just keep coming. We waited til the rain let up a little and headed back, but it quickly started pouring again. My wipers suck bad, but luckily the water just beads up on the plexiglass.

Turbo Mike is a trooper! He decided to finish the ride and went on to the show. Hope he has a good time and others turn out.

My car is going to have to be a fair weather car for the time being until I can figure out were the gallons of water that made their way onto my floorboards came from. Bob, you thought your leak was bad, when I pulled up my rubber mats, I about died. Spent 45 minutes wringing out my floor padding and getting everything dry. Think I'm just going to have to go around the inside and outside of the pan/heater channel mating surface with some sealer. The rubber gasket just doesn't seem to be doing the trick.

All in all, it was an adventure. A little over 100 miles in a downpour. I hope the show turned out good, but I just didn't want to go any further.

I've removed my floor carpet, both sides are wet. This is the first time that the drivers side has gotten this wet. But then again I don't think I've been out in this much rain fro this long. I will dip mine out and measure it for all of ya. I'm sure it is close to a gallon!!

I think you are right Eric, I think the aftermarket gasket must not be thick enough. I would like to pick the body up enough to put sealer on top of the gasket and body to really seal it off.

Sorry that I didn't see your phone call, my phone is a POS!!!

Well here ya go....


It was a little over a Gallon and I didn't catch what ran out of the carpet that was hanging up. Oh yeah the drivers side has water but not this much.

Thats some nasty water!

WOW guys I'm so sorry to hear that. I refuse to had bring out the 62in that weather.
It's 12:50 and it's still raining by me. Hope everyone up at the show is dry.

You guys need some beaters you can drive in the rain. Don't blame ya for tuning back today. No sense in driving to a show that's being rained out.

Wow! I didnt know you guys were going swimming yous should let some one know.....hahaha Hopefully all of that water didnt hurt anything.

the show was WET- dont the most comfortable drive there and back ether- my bias ply tires start getting sketchy around 60- the super wet roads dont help. But it was cool- really good turnout

Started to head out this am but the bottom dropped out / Looks like you braved the water well.

Hope the Chili kept some of the rain away.

i had a great time at the show. bought a few things, and talked to a bunch of great people. also got to put some faces to usernames as well, lol.

BUT.

The real adventure didn't start for me on my way home. i left the show about 1:15 because i had to work today at 5pm. i had some lunch, and started down the highway. about 10 minutes down the highway i'm driving and happen to see far in the distance some cars (well just their taillights, through the rain), when all of a sudden, i see one pair of taillights go up and dissapear. when i get to where the car was, it turns out the car (some newer car, thunderbird? tarus?) had rammed into the gurter ( fence dividing north and south bound) and flipped over once and landed on its wheels . i pull over and the lady was still in the car. i had to yank on the door till i was able to bend the hell out of it, and get it open. but here's the kicker. THERE WAS A VERY YOUNG KID IN THE REAR (about 6years old). the car was completely destroyed, but the motor was still running (go figure). neither of them were hurt. not even a scratch. i think the lady was in shock, because i don't think she even knew what happend. They were incredibly lucky, because that could have ended so much worse. the cops came, and an ambulance. they shut down the whole south bound highway to let the paramedics come in. i took some pics of the car. i'll upload them later.

If you happend to leave the show and went down i-985 south, then you know why the traffic was so bad, lol.

Whoa, Turbo Rescue Mike! That is nuts. Glad no one was serioulsy hurt. Hope you had a good time at the show and stayed somewhat dry.
