[NEWS]I was about to go to InContact Internet Station late on Sunday ( about 23:00 ) because Aldaskalakis has told me about some hardware problems there...[/news]
I went out driving and noticed the - already heavy - rain was getting worse all the time.... I started to take notice of some parked cars in the highway, people were just overwhelmed by the amount of water in front of them... rain rain rain and many cars had trouble... some left their drivers in tghe middle of nowhere... I was careless enough to go on, started to take some shortcuts instead of the highway... then, i took my risk passing a road which seemed flooded enough for cars higher than mine ( one of the things that seemed smart some years ago was lowering the suspension.... ) so, i went on ! That was it, the car went off, there was water in it ( yes, like a boat ) and i was left with no transport, out in the heavy rain with the car semi-flooded... and all this just after the new amazing day was starting ( a little after 12 ).... Well, i had help from my friends ( aldaskalakis and thanos and kikaaaa ) helped me pulling the car aside... all this with your feet in very very very cold water that is about 6 hours that passed sicne then and i still feel my feet so cold... I had my car towed at about 3am to the garage i do all service checks... the news are very bad, i am afraid : we definitely need to take out the seats, remove the interior carpet and clean it up by removing the water ... but that is nothing compared to the potential mechanical problems : i still do not know what the cost will be, but the worst thing is about the engine : can it be fixed ? These are questions still bugging me enough to have me writting all this stuff instead of going to sleep, and it is almost 6 a.m. here... I could say bad luck but i asked for it ! Now i only hope for some turn of good luck ahead. [center]  [/center]I have gone so many stunts with my car... i have so much experience to share... but i am afraid this time i may not get lucky, the damage could be irreversible. Anyway, i posted an image of the past... nostalgia... i miss it already ! --------------------    c:\ When the going gets tough, the tough get going ... |
