    My Grandmother lives down there. Her neighbour's BMW is already flooded out and her power is out because the transformer was placed on the ground. In a costal region who thought that was a good idea?

    I am going to call her and make sure she's OK now.

    While you're giving advice on how not to die from flood waters, could you put in a bit about how not to kill your fellow man at the same time? Not that anyone who needs to be reminded would ever actually read Jalopnik, but hey, you can say you tried.

    Several years ago, we were having typical Texas spring weather, which includes bouts of Old Testament style rain. I was trying to drive home, and there was low ground between the office and the house. I was driving a MINI at the time. I found the least-flooded road, but had to cross some water that was probably up to the door sills. I waited a few moments until there was nobody in the crossing - I didn't want to have to stop in the middle - and then made a run at the water. About halfway thru, someone in a H2 came barging thru at full steam, their wake pushed me to the left nearly into a submerged curb, as well as throwing about 50 gallons of water up onto my hood and windshield, making it really hard to see, and posing the risk of getting water into the intake.

    I made it to the house in one piece, but I was about ready to commit murder. #astonmartin

    As a kid when it rained hard and the gutters got overflowing I used to wish it would flood all the streets so I could ride a jet-ski to school. I didn't own a jet ski though.

    This just sucks man.
    Someone with a scuba forklift needs to save that thing. #astonmartin

    Considering the resale value plummet of a Vantage is only exceeded by a Maserati I would think the owner is praying for more rain. Lots more rain. #astonmartin

    I'm a few hours away but I have no way to tow it or haul it. Maybe it will float inland.
    Seriously, here in VA it's been sideways rain all week and it is supposed to continue through Saturday. Add a layer or two of slick fallen leaves, and it's been some delightful driving conditions. #astonmartin

    Straight side on this still looks terrible. I believe Clarkson once described the Chrysler Crossfire as looking like a dog parking its breakfast. This kind of has the same effect, though not as harsh as the Panamera.

    You only have to swing the viewing angle a few degrees in either direction though to find your jaw on the floor looking at this thing.

    Three quarter rear view is really an exercise in how to make a 4 door car absolutely beautiful. #2010astonmartinrapide

    Aston is moving too slowly. By this time they should have already released a sports activity coupe.

    Funny that everyone's talking about this and the Panamera. That's for folks with a "budget" who are concerned about depreciation and the engineering quality of their daily driver.

    This, rather, is for those who cross-shop the Bentley. #2010astonmartinrapide
