Default Car Is Gone :(
Well my car is officially done with. Huge amounts of water was sucked into the motor, and blew a hole in the block! Dont know a ruling on the insurance as of now, but the car is definetly down for a while.

The best i can hope for is a new motor...Ls2 here i come!


Such a sad day for me the silver bullit is down for the count

It's VERY bad out by my house here in Oklahoma too. We live north of Tulsa in Skiatook. There is now only one way in/out of town, all other roads are severly flooded over. And they reported last night that all the lakes in the area that feed the Arkansas river are full & 3 of the dams are already relesaing water into the river. So they don't expect it to stop rising until sometime Sunday.

Been down that road guys in Katrina, my house had over 6ft of flood water, I feel your pain, its not the water, its the mud and muck it leaves behind. Hang in there.
