I'm considering trading in my 97 BMW Z-3 for another vehicle.  Yesterday's storms were so bad as I commuted from Chicago's Northwest side through Palatine and on to Cary that I felt like I was hydoplaning with my floorboards instead of my tires.  It was an out of body experience - water over the ...
