I took my ghia and my (former) 1987 Dodge Charger 2.2L there one weekend for test and tune just to see how well (or rather, poorly) i'd run, but it got rained out and we left. the ghia doesn't do well in the rain, and while I was driving it back to PA, we hit a big puddle, hydroplaned, and the fan (rear engine aircooled) sucked water into it and blew it through the heater channels into the car... blew the back seat off and everything. It was kind of like being hit in the back of the head with a wave at the ocean... I swear, I had about 1/2" of water on the floor of the car... that was 3 or 4 years ago and I'm still cleaning mud out of it.
