Turn Around, Don't Drown

https://pic16.picturetrail.com/VOL698.../236467667.jpg Actually, the National Weather Service is promoting a "Turn Around, Don't Drown" campaign. Too many people are driving onto flooded roadways, resulting in some "conseqences". But yeah, I can recall driving my old Civic DX in a pouring rain and hitting a 2"+ puddled area at a blocked storm drain -- couldn't see it until schwoom! It stalled out and I coasted into a parking lot. I'm certain the engine sucked-up some water as it took a quite a bit of cranking and sputtering to get it going again. Someone saw it happen and stopped to check if the engine was grenaded. I'm surprised that poor car lasted as long as it did, and the engine didn't blow to smitherines (remember: water doesn't compress, and neither does snow, as I learned in that car the year previous).

There was a few years where the Ford Exploder was just a high powered wetvac. Ford, of course, denied it had anything to do with their moving the engine intake to just below the front bumper.:rolleyes:

lol, as if I didnt' think it poorly designed arleady! I really don't understand how something like this sells so well! There's this, the rollovers, the unsafeness of the whole thing, and of course the crap for gas mileage factor.:confused: Sooo many stoopid people in this world. On a side note, I got an average of 26.7 mpg today :D It was real windy again, if it wasn't I bet I would have got near 30. I think these helped a little bit too ( didn't test them yet, I"m planning on adding a ton of carboard then on a calm not gusty day, testing them by taking one off at a time.) https://www.imagestation.com/picture/...e/ea5e2647.jpg |
That sucks

Red -- that's awesome! I think the "Continental Kit" (where the spare tire was integrated into the trunk) included rear half-wheel covers. I wonder if there were some aftermarket for your car? |
BUMP!
took a trip to Tampa(from Orlando) achieving 47 MPG(46.9). not too bad considering a/c was used and no EOC. got it by drafting, using pulse and glide, and driving under 65 MPH. no doubt could have reached 50 w/ EOC or straight gas, perhaps even w/out a/c. if i told someone outside of this forum that i drove from Orlando to Tampa (~82miles) on less than 2 gal of gas, they prolly wouldn't believe it. |
