Yea, the same few low spots that flood, will always flood. And there is always some idiot that will drive in and ruin a car, and sometimes die. If I can't see the crown of the road, I turn around and go another way. I learned that the hard way in my 914.
On Portland ave right next to the Will Rogers park is a creek that flows into the park. The road is low there, but only in extreme rain does it flood. I saw many people driving through with no issues, and I was young and dumb. I drover the 914 in, and felt the front end suddenly have no steering, and then the rear end had no traction. I was floating, but the distance was not much, I hit the other side, and drove on out, and water peed out of the front trunk for a long time in my garage. I opened it all up and dried it out.
Later that night it rained more, and some chick in a minivan was washed off the road, and into the park and she died at the same spot.
Now if I see high water, I turn around, to not drown.
