    Got my 16 back in sept and just hit 10k miles and the flood in Houston took its life. Figured I'm not the only one to lose a new truck but while I enjoyed every second behind the wheel it couldn't survive being 10' under water. image.jpg

    Sorry to hear that, Jason. I lived down there about 4-1/2 years in the early 90's. Worked in the Med Ctr at 'Lukes. Went thru a couple of tropical storms/weak hurricanes but never anything like that. Truck can be replaced, lives cannot. At least glad that you're safe. Hang in there, take care of yourself and the family. Sending best wishes from the Pacific NW down to ya.

    Damn. I can only echo comments already made...vehicles can be replaced and your family and your health/safety are much more important.

    Good lookin new truck. :thumbsup:
