Wow, still fairly new to Mass, I was not quite aware of how deep a flooding Mass can get... roads were closed out where I live, water pools as deep as one foot. But the RDX was great, no hydroplaning, tracked perfectly even when moving at ~ 45 mph.

snap any photos by chance? I'd imagine the roads were not busy...

The flooded road system here is such a mess, that I was just glad to get out of it safely to/from work, let alone trying to snap a picture of it. When the roads are based on horse cart tracks from the victorian new england days, and not much significant infrastructure improvement made over the 200 years, can't expect much. New England is an odd place, all the high tech industry and advanced educational institutions (MIT, Harvard), the rest of the social infrastructure and scenery is still pretty much "old" new england, albeit some "touch-up" improvements.

Anyway, love the Rain-X glass cleaner spray foam I applied to the front/rear windshield and side windows, rain just bead up and slide off. And no more chatter from the windshield wipers.

Good point... it would be kinda tricky, BUT doable, def doable.

Never been to MA, but I despise pretty boy Brady (yes, I'm a hater), Mono-syballic Billicheck and the Elvis-wanna-be Pats logo.

Romo for Prez!

LOL. This isn't a fair generalization of the state of roads within Massachusetts. True, some of roads are old (what do you expect as one of the oldest cities in the nation?) and part of Boston is built upon landfill that used to be Boston Harbor, we certainly don't have perfectly laid out roads like other newer cities. Land here, as you may or may not notice, is very scarce. But you're kidding? Not much improvement made over the last 200 years?! HUGE improvements were made over the last 20 years alone! There's plenty more to do but it's very difficult to do any infrastructure changes without vast funding.

Do yourself a favor and take the RDX down to New York City sometime. Then report back to us on their road, traffic, and noise conditions
