Flash flooded by my house last night, had to move my car to high ground as the water was almost up to the bottoms of the doors. Only damage I think is the horn got full of water and is even quieter than stock. Good reason to finally buy some Hellas.
This morning: new tires. Replaced my worn-out Cooper Zeon RS3-As with a new set of Cooper Zeon RS3-As. Bought 'em at PepBoys, who have a special on right now so they're just over $80 apiece when you have them installed there. With an alignment I was out the door for $480. Cooper is replacing the RS3-A with the RS3-G1, which promises better performance and longer life. There's a mail-in rebate on the G1s right now, too, but nobody has them in stock yet, so I just went ahead with the RS3-As. They lasted me somewhere between 30 and 40k miles, and they're rated for 40k. No complaints. They're a recommended tire from Consumer Reports and they got me through a hellacious ice storm two days after I bought them a few years ago, and have overall been a nice tire.
