Torrential rain coming home from work....should I check amything?
The kind of heavy "flood" can't see out the windshield even with the wipers full on....... Continued torrential for about 8-10 miles
Should I check the car for anything particular? Thanks

It rains in Germany, I think they designed 'em not to melt.
 Yes, I drove my '88 targa everyday in Houston for almost 4 years, that's lots of rain. That's through floods with 6" deep water. You shouldn't have much to worry about.

Check under your floor mats for any moisture.

There is a small drain on the back of the lower seats ( no one seem to know about them ) that you can just pull the nipple out and viola the water is drained
If you can't find that drain holler at me,will ya !

Sorry, Yasir.
You see... when someone says "You just want to see nipples" as a joke and then someone else chimes in with "What's your point?" then that's a continuation of the joke, because the second person realizes that the first comment, although said in jest, sounds serious, so the second comment, which is also in jest, and sounds equally serious, points out that the first comment is not really serious, and suggests that the activitity referred to is actually not a bad thing. You have to work with me here. and I have to remember to use the smilies. BTW, we said "nipples".
