Don't under-estimate water paddle
The weather was so bad and rainning so hard these day in Southern California. I was driving 45mph down a 6-lane road to work yesterday. On the way, I hit a "2-lane" wide water paddle which I thought I could get across it very easily. However, I must have under-estimated the resistance of water. I hit it at 45mph, it immediately slowed me down for like 25mph. Water rushed through the lower grille and damaged the wheel cover and mud guard. 
That was so scary! I was so afraid that the airbags might pop or any further damages on my car. 
Slow down!!!

Rep Power: 0 Ohhhh, yes, water has a LOT of mass to it. Well, if you've ever done a spread eagle when landing in a pool, you'd know it's like landing on concrete. You just have to be very careful in wet weather!

Rep Power: 0 My car might have some more damages when I drove it to work today. There was a loud "click" noise coming out from the passenger's side rear wheel when it started moving. There are also 2 plastic strips which insolate between the gas tank and body came loose. I am really worry about it now! I hope I can have time taking it to dealer before the holiday!
