Default Flooded LS1 nightmare

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....

Dreams are wierd, I have a friend that is some what of a "player". Well last night I had a dream that he was using my name when hooking up with this girl. This random guy came up one night and kind of stared me down (her B/F I guess). Of course I pull out my bouncer mantality and said wtf, and he shot me 3 times. Last thing I remember was that the EMT told me I talked to much, then I woke up. Been kind of a weird day.

Dreams involving water are supposed to have some sort of reference, can't remember what it is, maybe you were thirsty .
