There was a huge ass puddle next to target in christiansburg. Well I wouldn't really call it a puddle, I'll call it Lake Target. I didn't really think it was too deep, so I just decided to ride through it, 40mph-0 in a split second, water coming in the doors, engine bogging down. Turns out I sucked a couple gallons of water into the motor so I had to wait at target until it worked its way through the system. Took a couple of hours, but a big cloud of steam came from the exhaust and the talon was alive once again!

Holy Crap Choodle! That's insane, and the fact that your car was alright, even more insane. Glad to hear it though, sounds like you're a pretty lucky person. Now, if I had drove through that puddle my car would have exploded...that's just my luck.
