Default Being short ain't that bad after all

It rained really hard in So Cal today, and there was even lightning that knocked out a few traffic lights. Traffic was really bad, and I had to make two detours to get around most of the traffic. :madfawk:

This one underpass that goes under the rail road and by the time I noticed it was too late. Thank God that I left my Iceman CAI as a short ram intake. Water was at least 2 feet high. I drove though it very slowly and made sure not to rev.

So its not always bad to be short.hfawk:

Grifter avoid Azusa and Gale underpass. Its flooded.

Same thing here tonight , i had to drive through about a foot and a half of water and then my clutch felt like it had no pressure and was slipping....Was that just because it got wet? should it dryout and be fine or could it have caused a problem.
