Grown Man Crying ... Part II

i just wanna thanks everyone for you input on the first theard, and thought i share a little story with all of you. i hope you enjoy this.

so today in sheboygan it was about 80 degrees outside, and i thought, why not give my car a car wash, its nice outside, and my car needed it. well i thought, why not spend some money and get it real clean. so thats exactly what i did. so now im at the car wash, ready to go, i drive my car in, everything is good. its on the last wash, i feel my car shaking, im like no biggie. the sign tells me to go forward, so i drive it up, the dryers come on, and my car ... dies ... it just dies ... i try to get it started, it dies ... did this 4 - 5 times. nothing. so i tell my gf, steer the car, and imma push it, well i get out, push, and push and push, car doesnt move. dumb gf didnt put the ebrake down. wow. well after i pushed it out, i started it, didnt work the first 2 - 3 times, then it started up, the rpm was jumping from 200 - 2000. i sat there for about 5 mins, and decided it was safe to hit the road. well i was wrong, my car was about to die on the street, so i quickly turned it into a parking lot, and let it run for a bit. finaly i just was just so mad i just guned it all the way home. made it home safe, checked my filter, it was wet, not soaked, let my car run for about 30 mins, now it runs fine. wow what a day. im so sick of this intake imma rip it out sat. or my friend built a heat box, and i was thinking about a water box. haha. it sucks. well thanks for reading this, i know it was alot. i hope everyone gets a good laugh, cause right now, i dont even care ne more. more important things in life then to worry about my car. thanks all... just image a fat little asian kid pushing is car out of the car wash. your start laughing.

Just another reason to stick with the good 'ol short ram, I prefer my RMR w/ heat shield. Good to hear that it wasn't hydro-locked...
