Default drove through a sinkhole at 40 mph wow

hey guys..

OMFG... i was driving my work truck back home during a really bad rain.....high winds street and flooding as i type this....and i figured i'd rather have my landy in the garage instead of my pick up so i drive back to my work and grabbed the D2....rain was amazing.....

so i'm drivng home and avoiding retards that are aiming for puddles and garbage cans flying across the street...i can barely see the road... then all of the sudden....SLAM!!! my discovery dropped 10 inches.. and a wall of water 25 ft high engulfed my truck....lasted for at least 3 seconds and then i felt a hard smack my D2 rose up and cleared the hole...which i couldnt even see when i pulled over to check for damage......

the car behind me got stuck and thats how i measured the hole....2 lanes wide 10-12 inches deep

my landy didnt even stutter!!!!!plowed through it like a champ it is.....

i nearly sharted my pants
