Sorry but I hate people that blame Houston. Houston doesn't have the problem. I've lived there most of my life and I'm doing fine. Also can't blame Houston for E-Bay quality parts breaking. I'm not trying to be an ass but I truly believe in you get what you pay for. Again, I hope you get your Z fixed and back on dry roads soon! If you need some shop suggestions let me know. I have a great rapport with a lot of local shop owners.

Wow why so damn serious? I wasn't "blaming" Houston. It was a joke! And I know about eBay stuff. That's y I went with art pipes next and how do u explain that? I'm still waiting on a extra pair from motordyne. And my car is to low I can't go up the drive way. And the people I was staying with said that's never happened before. It's a freak accident so give me a break... Lol

I thought Motordyne ART pipes were considered quality

Oh yeah, Houston sucks. My friend and I got kicked out of a club while VO was taking a leak

On that note, hope you get everything taken car of. I'm hoping I never had to take to the Z to Houston again, just my gf's Civic

Did it flood while you were parked there or did you drive into that?

Lol if yall read my last post you'll see that my car was to low to pull in the driveway... And I woke up and found it like this. I did NOT drive through this. That would be ignorant. And Blasian she should be fine. Just got to gut the inside and let it air out. Talking with insurance today. Theyll pay me to work on my own car

Guess it time to raise the car so you're able to drive it.

His Z isn't stupid low or hellaflush like some of the other crap we've seen around here. I know this guy and he's cool peeps, no need to rag on him.

Hell, I'd be complaining too and my suspension is pretty functional. I'm pretty sure his Z has a lip on it. Hell, I don't have a lip on my Z and I can't clear a damn pine cone lol

Over the course of 2 months we've experienced 2 storms that dumped an unusual amount of rain in our area that caused severe flooding. All I can say is **** happens.

As far as anyone from LA saying that H-town sucks, I lived in LA, Kenner to be specific. Seriously, IT'S YOUR STATE THAT SUCKS! All of that money from state income tax, gambling, etc... and the roads/infrastructure and the public schools SUCK! I have NEVER been anywhere where it was so blatant how corrupt the local and state officials were.

Tell us how you really feel br0. I was being facetious.

I was actually considering moving to Houston. It was on the list until I realized that a lot of people there are crazy so I'm picking another state
