if the roads are just wet then you're good. just watch out for salt on the road + give her a wash (bottom too) when you get home.

Aha! ibought the WHITE TII infact, i was going to buy the black on, but my friend eriksseven was there to do a compression test showing that one of the seals was TOAST... anyways, after some work on teh supposed 'grumpy' TII, erik and i (mainly erik) got the car unflooded. the car was then purchased and it will be taken ove to eriks for some maintainance and fixing...finally have a TII!!

NICE! So it is at Erik's currently? I may have to swing by after work and take a look. So what did they say at west coast autoworks when you found out the black car they want an arm and a leg for needs a rebuild? I bet they didn't like that, especially being it's the one they advertise as "a 12 second car! YO! MAD QUICK!". I added that last part myself.

yeah after the compression on the rear rotor read 90-90-60, erik was like 'uhh dont get this car, its a bad motor', i was a little bit discouraged, but i was like hmm ill take a look at the white one, which just turned out to be flooded *but with good compression*. they guy was pissed when erik said the motor was bad, so the dealer stopped talking to us and tried selling it to this other guy...sneaky bastards. but yeah, the car is at eriks or it should be by now or tomorrow...
