Driving over deep water.... not a problem.

Driving through deep water... much worse.

When I had an Elise I hit a rather deep puddle. The water caused no problem for the engine as the intake, like ours, is up high. But what did happen was the water was scooped into the intakes on the lower front of the car and created a waterfall from the ventilation system on to my feet... yummy.

Where do our front openings funnel water to?
