Default Reflective puddle pic - Location??

Okay, im new to DFW, so ive been looking for a spot to take this pic........

Does anyone know a cool location, maybe the top level of a parking garage that gets puddled up, but im looking for the day after a rain where the puddle remains and we can drive the Z's onto the puddle, get out and tip-e-toe to the dry area, wait for the ripples to stop then snap some sweet pics??

I wanna take it with my track wheels/R-comp tires, so ill be taking my trailer and cordless impacts and swapping one side of the cars wheels out on site...

I know i saw a thread where a guy took a pic like that, but i cant seem to find the thread..........

a puddle like the one pictured below, anyone in DFW work downtown know of any cool spots that probably puddle up that we can take a pic like this.........?

northpark has two parking garages with top levels, and i believe that they do get puddles. not sure though if we need alot of rain for it to happen first. i live like a mile from there, so i can go check first though, if you want sometime.

here's what i took. there was a security guard right below me, but he didnt seem to care what i was doing, so long as you keep it low key they dont bother you. i took these from the corner, so this shows the whole upper area.

Last night during the early morning, I took some pics out in the fog also. I tried to capture a couple with the puddle reflection that Jason was talking about too.

I think they want to play in a puddle after it rains on top of a parking structure ?

Just make your own Puddle guys....bring lots of beer and eventually you will have to pee.

That would be awesome

I was watching speed tv a couple of nights ago and they had this vintage car road show in San Antonio they did this shoot on some sort of road that had a little river running over it..

It is hard to explain but it was so bad *** that I thought about doing a road trip down there for the summer just to check it out... but mainly to drink down on the riverwalk
