Yesterday was nuts. Had several tornados in our county. One actually passed near my work building after hitting the small local airport.

Worst storm I can remember in a long time.

If you haven't already thought of this, I'd recommend that you go ahead and clean & re-oil the filter.

Are you on stock or lowered height?
Would the low clearance of the S saved you from having to be tossed around; considering that not enough air can create a lift from under the car?

And as someone said.. You should have went top down and Vtec straight thru the heart of that tornado - Like a true champ.

But im glad you're oka

^lmao! you guys kill me with that shit. it always makes me laugh!

yeah, i guess being lowered to no finger gap up front and a 1.25 finger gap in the rear in combination with my Chaser Aero Carbon Fiber Side Diffusers really kept me planted!!!!

lol

they should use that on their site; "use our diffusers and be better protected from tornados". hahahahaha

I think you are one day early for April Fools. Looks like you sprinkled some moss on your car is all.
I'm not biting.

lol, a little dramatic and detailed for some stupid joke dontcha think?

i dont have time for jokes and BS, i just shared what happened. people in this area(and the majority of those who watch the news, since it made national news) know whats up. i dont care if you "dont bite".

as for the sprinkled moss; with 70mph winds, not much sticks to your car. that moss was wrapped around my mirrors twice and that branch was jammed into the condenser. if it wasnt latched to the car somehow, it was blown away by natures pressure washer.do you think when i sprinkled the moss on there it fell and cracked some carbon fiber too?

who the hell would do that anyway? those who suspect such actions are usually those who would employ such actions.

on a side note, i finally washed the car today, looks MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH better.

I was playing xbox live (halo reach) with a good buddy in the Tampa area this day. His power went out, he said the weather was nuts and was going to get off.

Glad to hear you are ok, I couldnt even imagine that happening to me. You got fluky! Were you actually inside the tornado? You made it seem that way for sure
