California rain

[NismoDriverS13]

What the hell is going on in cali with this crazy rain? i woke up today to a power outage, so i went out to get some food and my car is like in a ocean of its own and i have to swim to it to get inside! (sarcastically speaking)

I got into the car and had to drive up to my house so that i can go inside and change my shoes and socks cause they were all wet. then decide to check the trunk in my 1990 s13 hatch just in case for any water and there is a giant lake where the spare tire was, so i dry it and put towel in there.

then i go get food and stop at a drive through at one of the donut places next to my house and they can't open the window cause it's hard core raining. so i go inside and get my food, then i finally get home and check my bumber and its hanging down a bit cause i hit a water drain thing with shit load of water in it.

I love rain, but God why hating?!?! :duh:

now im in my garage building a damn Arc so I can go out again! :rant2:

[DALAZ_68]

[keiglo]

[I LUV MY S13]

wtf!!! it was pouring like crazy right now and it suddenly just stops completely, i love it

[nismo 240sx]

this weather just makes me want to stay home and watch movies all day long under a blanket. but it is a nice change but if its going to be here all week its going to suck!!! cuz you dont want to do shit in this weather...

[SilS13Coupe]

Work next week FTL!!

Yeah the weatherstripping in my car needs to be replaced because some parts are leaking water inside the passenger seat and driver seat.


FUCK! FUCK!

[xpertsnowcarver]

Its about time we get a good long sprinkle. Sucks for those in mudslide areas.

[NismoDriverS13]

alright, so i put the bumper back up a little. going back out, need to go to Game Stop and get Forza 3. haha. then stopping at my friends house in garden grove, hopefully will have no problems. wish me luck ppl. haha.

[marcencar]

Love the rain. I finally get a free car wash. :naughty:

[lscustoms]

rains awsome no wear on tires when sliding haha but to much wasted gas lol need new tires no grip =(

[beb]

Love the rain. I finally get a free car wash. :naughty:

I looooove your sig. And agreed! My car was getting filthy, but now its clean! :)

I looove the rain, I just dont love all the people who drive in it. =T

[drift freaq]

hahaha nice story, but to answer your question...

global warming:keke:

hahahaha ya right. this is a typical el nino storm pattern and oh we are in for a lot more today is just the beginning.

[spooled240]

i love the rain, but I can't really do anything today =/...I should do my hw tho lol

[xpertsnowcarver]

hahahaha ya right. this is a typical el nino storm pattern and oh we are in for a lot more today is just the beginning.

I cannot wait for him to leave plenty of snow for us. :)

[drift freaq]

I cannot wait for him to leave plenty of snow for us. :)

supposedly there is going to be 2-4ft or more at the higher elevations. So Big Bear will be quite white. The forecast is for 4-8 inches in the coastal, 8-16 inches in the foothills and snow above 6 thousand feet which might come down to 4-5 thousand feet.

[CleanAndLegit]

^^^agreed lol hw is a bisssnatchhH!
and wlel yeah the rain is a punk!

[hOngsterr]

yeah it sucked this morning, all the streets were flooded,
i was in the middle lane making a right so my car wouldnt be doomed lol.

saw a girl with a S2k exiting a neighborhood and her shit died, so then i guess she hit up 2 other girls and they started pushing it,

more rain will comee.

[ronmcdon]

I don't mind the rain but I hope it's not going be another '05 again.
It was raining for 3 months straight back then!
Traffic isn't going to be pretty.

Now is a wonderful time to go skiing/snowboarding though

[KA24DESOneThree]

Flooded our main office and 356 showroom. Had to get a bunch of furniture off the ground and sandbag the entrance.

I seriously liked the manual labor, no lie.

Miata daily doesn't care about the rain, but it'll lose its lip if I hit a puddle at speed. Low cars are sweet when it's pouring.

[Siphter]

loving the rain, just wish Californians knew how to drive, build roads correctly so it doesn't flood and not live on mud hills that they like to call mountains until the rain hits and they slide to their death.

figure this gets me through another year of not being in Washington so let it rain, let it rain, let it rain ... I hope it really storms cus it's kind of a light wuss ass drizzle in Lancaster, 5" by tomorrow? oh noooooes :hahano:
weak sauce.

[NismoDriverS13]

just came back home. front bumper is hanging even lower after hitting a HUGE puddle at 45 on exit ramp off the 405. SOB!!! and it was perfect before......

have no bolts, so i have an excuse and going with zipties for now. lol!!!

[WIKID S4TEEN]

I bet eastcoast is lol @ us!
A little rain and we're freakin out.
But it does suck.
Plus RWD + rain= no pinche bueno!
Be careful out there guys, I don't want to see any
I totaled my 240 threads.

[vvtisupra]

SAme with my track car./ If you go to any autoparts store they have this anti fogging gel that you can apply to your windows. But they only work when the windows are super clean with no residue and make sure you work that gel in real good

[Grenade180sx]

I thought that i'd have to go down with the ship if I had to, LOL! parked the car next to a curb and there was a huge puddle, so got out of the car, but couldn't jump over so I had to remove my DC's and fucking bare foot through that shit! it was cold, and i felt bad for my car. and i swear i have a leak, water is comin in at the bottom of the door. :(

but, man do i love not burnin up tires!!! haha.

[drftkng951]

[mau5trap]

[240XTC]

I let the rain drops touch my tounge and it was great.

lol!!.............

[articdragon192]

The rain seriously wasn't that bad. Our drainage system just sucks. Pansy ass rain. I wanted more rain, lightning, and thunder. But as always, California disappoints with regards to "storms"

[Ares240SX]

After living back east for a couple of years and experiencing some of their storms. This was nothing, just some light to medium rain combined with continuous periods of time and shitty drainage... CA has very poor drainage systems for rain, that is why everything floods.

[jdm2191]

i hydro plan everything!

kinda scary well hopefully this is the last day for this rainy week...

[Gordo714]

"i can see clearly now that the rain is gone" lol...my trunk is probraly a small pond right now i dont even want to look :(

[240XTC]

At least you don't waste as much tire meat.....:)

[LOUD240]

I pulled the plug and drained my trunk today and worst of all opened my hood to see all of the mud that got all over the chrome really gonna be fun cleaning the car before the riverside meet

[DataXUnknown]

Seriously that "storm" and rain and such was BS. Every news station was like "and here we have steve in glendale steve, *steve* yeah hey gloria here i am standing and if you look behind me to my right you'll see it has started to rain and is coming down pretty hard. the last half hour its been raining on and off. back to you in the studio"

Oh and a lovely tornado that everyone made a big deal about down the street from my house. I could have probably litterally sat in the middle of that fucking tornado it was so weak (exaggerating a bit)

I see all these "Tuesday: T-Storms" what the fuck does a T storm indicate? Last time they said a t-storm it was the EXACT same thing was the day before that was listed as "rain". I heard no intense thunder and saw no lightning.

[DALAZ_68]

boo its over...

[silcoupeguy987]

back to you in the studio doug....

[silpena]

i used to hate the rain....then i got contacts. problem solved....yes my vision is what made me dread the rain buuuutt i doo love the fog!!

[pacotaco345]

Ha there's this lake that magically appears on the middle of my street when it rains and I drove through it at like 20 mph when some jackass blows by the other way at like 50 in an f150 and blinds me... I almost rear ended the guy in front of me by the time all the water sheeted off my windshield.

[24j0hn]

i dont think its the rain thats crazy, its the in accurate weather forcasts...

they said tuesday, wednesday, and a lil on thursday... now its friday all day and a lil on sat. WTF?

i was all happy cuz i thought there was gunna be no rain on the meet, but guess not

[I LUV MY S13]

yep light showers tomorrow, more on saturday

[coww-cho!!!!!]
