Question about driving through deep puddles......
I was driving to work, and with the rain, and blown fire hydrant leaking out to the parking lot entrance, I drove through some semi-deep water. It was like a giant pool for a parking lot no more than 1 foot deep.

I was really worried driving through it, that it can damage my car, etc....

Should I worry about this? (I live in Maine)

if you have the stock air intake, the inlet is up where the battery is. So you should be fine.

same. Unlesss you have a cold air intake with filter sitting at the bottom of the bumper, nothing should happen.
