Yeah - it was pretty scary. A couple days ago the manhole covers in San Mateo were overflowing with water and they had to put sandbags around it. My wipers had to be changed and apparently everyone else had the same idea...

According to the guy in Autozone the biggest seller is wipers when it rains.

From wikipedia:

In automotive terminology, a hydrolock (short for hydraulic lock) is the immobilization of an engine's pistons by a liquid (usually water, hence the prefix "hydro-"). Hydrolocking occurs when liquid fills a cylinder on the intake stroke and, due to the incompressibility of a liquid, makes the compression stroke impossible. This, in turn, prevents the entire engine from turning, and can cause significant engine damage if one attempts to forcibly turn over or start the engine. Typically, connecting rods will be bent, making the engine uneconomical to repair.

Man, that basically means they have to total out the car, huh? I guess Miss Cougar is getting a new ride!
