Talking Like A Rock !!!!

Man, I love my Chevy! Yesterday while driving home, it started pouring down real hard and like most Houstonians know, it started to flood in NE Houston. I was driving around to get to downtown and came across a flooded intersection, with no way around it, so I went through. It wasn't bad, it was up to the top of the wheels. Well no problems. I came up to a underpass of I-10 and another flooded spot. This time it was freakin' deep , I went through it slowly and it was kinda scary. I could hear my exhaust gurgling in the water. Well, she made it through with no problems. I was worried, but she still runs like a raped ape. This has been, by far, the best damn vehicle I've ever owned. to Chevy for making a great truck! ( I'm glad I didn't get the Hotchkis TVS kit yet.)
