Default Water everywhere! (So I took the Jetta for a swim...)

All the water you see is normally a soccer field. I could have ventured further, but didn't want to take a chance.







Crazieness.

I am going to go out tomorrow and take some pictures of the flooded houses and other interesting subjects....

Ha, it looks like the Jetta can't wait to jump in for a swim . Well, hopefully the floods didn't cause too much damage in your area.

Nice rims though.

Hey and it looks like someone isn't affraid to get wet. Nice job taking those pictures!

I hope those people who got flooded have things turn out ok. A town called Franklin I think near here got flooded not long ago. Its strange to see houses with everything stacked infront of them just waiting to be tossed into a garbage truck. Some of the cars weren't even moved. It's sad stuff.

BTW Carson, they had a really cool car in Autoweek I think it was last week. Looked like a Miata with weird ground effects, but the thing could go in water too. If I was a millionare I think I'd get one. I forget who made it, a British manufacturer I think...
