I got word this weekend...

PICS ADDED 9/16/08

My car was under water this weekend. Its been raining non stop from thursday night untill sunday night here in chicago. My car was in a bay no names will be used and if anyone knows where its at please keep it to yourself.

I wasnt around to come see it but i placed a call today to find out how bad it was and it was as bad as i thought water was above the hood and the inside well im sure you guys know how that was going to look like.

Car has been down for 2+ years and was not very far from being done. Ive got over 18-30 grand worth of mods on the car most of them where in the car at the time. The car was pulled out and has been drying since saturday and im thankful to have such a great group of guys helping me out to get me back to where it was before this happend. I dont have pics i did ask for pics to be taken im not sure if they where taken which is ok if they dont. I was in the process of selling the car as is but with this that just happended i dont think anyone would buy it. And my long running bad luck with this car keeps on going. Ive owned the car since 04 car was problem free for the first year and 8 months ever since then something would go wrong car would run for a month then be down for a month or more.

Well wish me luck and once again i want to thank the guys helping me out with this bad misfortune ive had.

Wouldnt let me upload bigger pics.

Makes you wonder where the safest place in America is to collect cars. Sure isn't any area that is along side the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic ocean...
