emorphien Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I think he made it clear it was a dumb move. Quit with the bashing people. Yeah, there's really no reason to keep harrassing the guy. He knows it was a mistake. Same obnoxious BS some of you guys pull when someone gets in to an accident. Get over yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
700watts Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Actually, Subaru owners like that are an embarassment. 100% pure idiot. One day, he will find out that the rescue helicopter and crew will cost him about $15,000. And, if he's dead, they will bill his estate. what a stupid post......and that just about covers it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
700watts Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 ']In the future (as if people whose gonads outweigh their brains have much of one), drape a tarp over the front to reduce the chance of hydro-lock. http://static.flickr.com/48/121059324_a8556eda06_b.jpg Now that’s neat.....never thought about that.....

Same obnoxious BS some of you guys pull when someone gets in to an accident. Get over yourselves. He was also unaware of how deep the water was since it had risen over the past few hours & other cars had made it thru when it was deeper. "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama! I'm the president...of hittin' the ass!" -this is not a political view it's merely a quote from a hilarious tv show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTsullyman Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 So the real question if you ask me is how did he make it? Was it a fluke? Did his turbo charger help keep the water out because he had pressure in the system? Ideas anyone 2007 DGM LGT 2003 Suzuki SV650S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideas anyone I would imagine that the turbo would act like a vacuum cleaner…..so good engineering would be my best guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagacy GT Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 It's also awesome when I go snowboarding and the SUVs are slip sliding because they don't have 4x4/AWD and are inching along while I power past them and leave them in my salt/snow spray LOL.

Pugsly Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 One thing to think about is where the intake is. On the subaru it's on the passenger side, which was the oppisite side of the flow of water. On the Jeep, it's on the Drivers side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Wait, so after 2 days, I see now that people are FLAMING Prod for making a bad decision after someone gave him bad information? Geez ... he thought it was 3" deep ... It wasn't. That's an "oops". People just like an excuse to flame I guess. It's not like he was driving recklessly and knowingly endangering others. Prod is a good guy and was only being nice by showing us pictures of "holy crap! not what I expected, and I got lucky" Let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Rebo Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 you are lucky, really really lucky you didnt hydrolock yourself. He's lucky he didn't hydrolock the car's motor, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanboy Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Meh, lots of cars and SUVs have intakes in the wheelwell/down low, Grand Cherokee had it low for a while: "We had a Grand Cherokee that hydrolocked in 4" of water in our driveway. Chrysler said it was an accident and they weren't liable even though the air intake was mounted BELOW THE FRONT BUMPER on an alleged "off road vehicle". Interestingly, they moved it much higher the following model year . . ." "Fords have had the same problems. Ever looked at the scoop on an early version of the xploder? Yep, right there just above the bumper behind the grill." I'd say the Subaru's air intake is high for a car, and unlike some wheelwell intake systems, you aren't going to flood it in a deep puddle. Glad to see the car made it out okay, what a great story...and even better pics! -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sh*t the guy wanted to leave philly and with his own car, made a choice on his own, and everything paid off...... Its actually flamers like you that shouldn't have a spot on this forum and embaress many on this subaru community......some of you grown folks are too mature for us and always feel the need to throw in you're two cents that include nothing positive at all......Prod, if you hydrolocked im sure you still would have brought this to our attention here at LGT with no shame in what you did....once again...YOU ARE THE ILLEST MAN ALIVE.
