Driving through water where you can't see the road is just dangerous. It would majorly suck to find out that there is no road under that puddle. I've seen that what, 2 million times on the news already?

C5s and water don't mix - water doesn't compress well - water beats pistons every time.

That would explain the whine when I ran through a puddle just the other night. Did not see the puddle...hit it....shook the head and waited. Sure enough...a few minutes later the engine was literally whining...went away in about 30 minutes of driving. So I can second the avoid H2O reco!

I didn't have any issues like that however the water was over the air damn for sure, SoCal doesn't handle rain very well. -bmb
