What's wrong with this picture? Let's see how good your eyes are... there's something visibly wrong with the car in these pics, and NO it's not that it's purple. There's a problem that needs to be corrected.
Let's see if you can spot it..

hard to tell, but that's what it looks like..Someone asked me why the driver's taillight looked funny in my pics last night, and sure enough, I pulled it off and it had a crapload of water in the bottom.
No idea how long it's been there, but I can see from my pictures that it was like that before I bought it.
Question is... how does a tail light get that much water inside it?

My taillight gets water in it also, same side, it hasn't filled up like that, but it is growing moss (turning green inside) 
The seal around the top is bad that's how the water gets in mine..when I wash it I spray around the top and can see the water going in. I have replacement taillights, but just haven't put them on yet..

just take them both off.. and put some more silicon around the edges
not too difficult to do
but that's (basically) the only thing holding the two pieces together.
and the only way that water can be leaking in.

Well, at least you found it out so you can fix it now.

I saw it right away too. But I guess I did not win because I just now saw this thread.
All that extra water was probably adding weight and slowing down the car. No wonder you could not get good times Sunday.
