Got caught on the turnpike (very limited pulling over areas) in a real gully washing toad strangler. Was in my Boxsters when it was practically brand spanking new, had all season continentals on it, but the water on the road was so deep couldn't go over 40mph without hydroplaning and couldn't see more then two car lengths. Freakin trucker were doing 70 and washing people off the road. Pull off at the first exit and had a hot lunch while the storm passed. Saw all kinds of emergence vehicles lights a blazin headed for the on ramp.

Ran into a couple of frog floaters in Texas one in the Boxter the other in a Passat. The water on the roadway was 4 inches deep, both times! Luckily the traffic was doing every bit of 5 mph. Thought I was going to have to re-register my vehicles for lake use.
