I hate the RAIN

Just thought Id rant of the rain here, have to take the 5 south down to Irvine (from the Burbank area) and hope its not raining hard. Last time I drove through the rain down there I killed my MAF sensor accordingly killing my cat and o2 (luckily all replaced by warranty). This time I will be driving with the cover for my intake though, just remmebered where it was last night!

Moral of the story? For those of you with AEM/MS cai's, put the so called condom on your intake - play it safe
