Default Crazy flooding last night, almost lost the Zed...

My neighbor to the left had 14" in their house, it got to within less than an inch from coming in my front and back doors. Still managed to get about 6" in our garage, but the Zed is fine.

Thanks man. We don't even live anywhere near a flood zone, and my house is at least 6 or 7 feet higher than the street.

You have no idea. I knew it was raining bad but wasn't expecting this. I looked out the front door before I went to bed around 10 and saw water up to my front door. Freaked out and ran to the garage! Check this out, there was only about 2 or 3 inches in the garage and I thought the level had equalized with what was outside. I opened the garage door and it was like opening the flood gates! It rushed in and went up to about 6 or 7 inches. Who knew a garage door sealed like that?!!!

Jackstands would have been great, but there was 6 or 7 inches in the garage before we even knew it was flooding. Sounds crazy, but everything was good when the sun went down, looked out the front door at about 10 and it was up to the house, and in the garage!

I think your car is flood damage. With that being said I'll take Volk and your Voltex.
