I suggest that it's time to invest in scuba gear.

As long as you don't have the AEM CAI puddles should not be too much of a problem.

Not unless you get the bypass thingie that prevents water from going into the engine. I know they make something like that.

SinD don't worry about it. My Prelude had a lower door sill than the S2000 and I never had any problem with it. I had my S, for the last month of the rainy season last year with no problems. If I were you though, I wouldn't park in a low spot in the parking lot (ie by storm drains).

And during the summer don't leave your top down while you go into the gym or a store because you may come outside and find the interior of your car flooded.

I had a low car too.. when I had the RX-7 and it poured really bad during a 'hurricane' my car got flooded with water... So i'm just worried cause well I don't want that to happen.. I don't live in the same place where i did when i had the RX (thank god) then I'd really would have to take up Snorkling... I at least my drive way is on a Incline.. but i am still worried about those infamous Miami-Dade county puddles... Thank god i don't work in the doral area.. cause i wouldn't have to take up snorkling.. i would have to take up SCUBA diving...

Oh lucky me, I work in the near by area and I'm planning to move to Doral soon. Angel, how about we take up SCUBA lessons?
