What the hell is going on in cali with this crazy rain? i woke up today to a power outage, so i went out to get some food and my car is like in a ocean of its own and i have to swim to it to get inside! (sarcastically speaking)

I got into the car and had to drive up to my house so that i can go inside and change my shoes and socks cause they were all wet. then decide to check the trunk in my 1990 s13 hatch just in case for any water and there is a giant lake where the spare tire was, so i dry it and put towel in there.

then i go get food and stop at a drive through at one of the donut places next to my house and they can't open the window cause it's hard core raining. so i go inside and get my food, then i finally get home and check my bumber and its hanging down a bit cause i hit a water drain thing with shit load of water in it.

I love rain, but God why hating?!?!

now im in my garage building a damn Arc so I can go out again!

supposedly there is going to be 2-4ft or more at the higher elevations. So Big Bear will be quite white. The forecast is for 4-8 inches in the coastal, 8-16 inches in the foothills and snow above 6 thousand feet which might come down to 4-5 thousand feet.

CleanAndLegit · 01-18-2010, 05:22 PM

^^^agreed lol hw is a bisssnatchhH!
and wlel yeah the rain is a punk!

*hOngsterr* · 01-18-2010, 05:23 PM

yeah it sucked this morning, all the streets were flooded,
i was in the middle lane making a right so my car wouldnt be doomed lol.

saw a girl with a S2k exiting a neighborhood and her shit died, so then i guess she hit up 2 other girls and they started pushing it,

more rain will comee.

ronmcdon · 01-18-2010, 06:24 PM

I don't mind the rain but I hope it's not going be another '05 again.
It was raining for 3 months straight back then!
Traffic isn't going to be pretty.

Now is a wonderful time to go skiing/snowboarding though

KA24DESOneThree · 01-18-2010, 06:37 PM

Flooded our main office and 356 showroom. Had to get a bunch of furniture off the ground and sandbag the entrance.

I seriously liked the manual labor, no lie.

Miata daily doesn't care about the rain, but it'll lose its lip if I hit a puddle at speed. Low cars are sweet when it's pouring.

Siphter · 01-18-2010, 06:49 PM

loving the rain, just wish Californians knew how to drive, build roads correctly so it doesn't flood and not live on mud hills that they like to call mountains until the rain hits and they slide to their death.

figure this gets me through another year of not being in Washington so let it rain, let it rain, let it rain ... I hope it really storms cus it's kind of a light wuss ass drizzle in Lancaster, 5" by tomorrow? oh noooooes

weak sauce.

NismoDriverS13 · 01-18-2010, 07:06 PM

just came back home. front bumper is hanging even lower after hitting a HUGE puddle at 45 on exit ramp off the 405. SOB!!! and it was perfect before......

WIKID S4TEEN · 01-18-2010, 07:16 PM
