Several years ago my Dodge Omni was sitting in the parking lot at my old job during a downpour. Unknown to me, my Omni was parked over the storm drain, which clogged with debris. When I opened the back door of the building and saw the lake around my little Omni, I gulped. I waded towards it with trepidation. Who knows what might be floating in the murky water? I opened my car door, there was a couple of inches of water covering the carpet. As I drove home, the water sloshing, a distinctly unpleasant odor took over the small cabin. Even though I sucked out the water with my Shop Vac and disinfected the carpeting, the car smelled like moldy feet for weeks.
Thank goodness that was the Dodge Omni that I bought for $50. I sold it to my friend Cheesy after I brought home my first Del Sol. I probably should have warned him that the Omni smells like feet every time it rains. Oh well. At least I escaped flooding today with my speedy Toyota Echo. Since I still owe money on it (it cost more than $50) I'm relieved it didn't flood.
