Lost LS1 in Houston (LONG POST) Howdy everyone. WARNING: this is greatly depressing yet there is light at the end of the tunnel, but if you can't handle the death of a great icon like the LS1, please shield your eyes now.
I was driving down Westheimer headed to work, cruising about 45 mph for some stupid reason while it was raining heavy. Heavy, even in Houston rainstorm standards. I began to hit pockets of heavy water that sprayed over my entire car so I slowed down and my car sputtered and ran rough but then continued to run well after a few seconds. I decided to slow the hell down to abotu 25 for the rest of the cruise. So i slow down to second gear around 2000 rpms and then i see a bright orange sign in the middle of the road and struggled to make out the words BEWARE road construction. Then....BOOM it was like hitting a brick wall, my car stalls and water starts pouring into my car. Apparently there was a huge sinkhole
that i just sailed into. I tried to get out but the glass wouldn't break....i looked up and quickly undid the ttop and crawled out and jumped off the other ttop and out of the sinkhole. Then like a scifi movie, my car sank into the earth, never to be seen again 
...
I then woke up immediately, sweating much like the other dreamer that posted yellow87 i believe was his name, and pissed off like none other. I peak out the window to see that my car was perfectly fine at the early morning hour. Thank god it was only a dream, which i had two nights ago and then today its pouring down rain and i had to go slow as hell on the way to work. Hopefully it will only remain a dream....

Yes indeed....Everytime my wife says something about getting rid of a car, she is like...we'll just sell your car...and i immediately retaliate with "BULLSHIT!!"
LOL but then after a while I realize that there will come a day that I will have to sell my baby for something needed, not wanted.
Fortunately I have not had a dream that consists of any of the afore mentioned. I always have great dreams of my car.....Driving on that perfect moring with the tops off, the wife next to me giving me that look of "Let's pull over and find a place to f**k.." **** like that.
I love them dreams.

lol, that reminds me of a dream i had once.....a freakin WEIRD one, too.....
for some reason, my mom & i traveled to Mexico (don't ask me why!) in my car, and we ended up stopping at this house. the outside was completely different, but the inside looked exactly like my aunt's old house in Clute, TX.
fast forward a little, and i hear my alarm going off on my car, so i rush to the window, and i see some truck take off, hauling *** down the road. i look to where my car is parked, and the damn thing is stripped BARE! no wheels, no doors, no rear hatch, no engine....nothing....just a frame sitting up on blocks (and obviously a battery, since the alarm was going off
)
i think the reason i was dreaming about it getting stripped like that and sitting up on blocks is because just not too long before that, i went to Austin to my cousin's wedding, and there was a car in his apts. parking lot that had all 4 of its wheels jacked, they had put 2 big cinder blocks right in the center of the car, and just tilted it front/back on the blocks while they took the wheels off.
but as for why i was dreaming about going to Mexico, or why my aunt's house was there? not a damn clue on that.....
but yeah, i did the same thing....i ran outside still half-asleep and dazed, and made sure my car was still there (and in one piece).....

ive had a lot of them . in one of them i was trying to outrun a tornado. just as i was away from it . another one came out of the sky and caught me. just as it caught me the car started rolling and hitting other objects i woke up. not even two weeks after that nightmare i crashed and rolled my car over on top of the galveston bridge. 
felt like deja-vu!
