Has anyone heard from Erik or Lucas or Aaron? Wondering how they're weathering the floods in Houston? When I talked with Lee on Saturday he said Lucas was still clear of the floods.

I am fine, we made sure to buy our first home in one of the highest points of inner Houston - with good drainage. We did get 8-10 inches in an couple hours three separate times. The culverts on both sides are about four feet deep from the lawns.

My street on the 2nd of three bad rain events from Harvey.

Aaron Hehr is also ok and his shop didn't get flooded as far as I know.  Lucas I do not know about, he lives south of Houston and they got it worse. Juan had one of his his Volvo's flooded but I didn't here anything bad about his home or family.

Many of my friends had their houses completely flooded, and still have feet of water in their homes as of now, and are not allowed to go to them.

Glad to hear Erik.  I always thought the culverts on the sides of the roads were pretty crazy deep when I visited our factory down there but seeing how bad the floods can be even without a hurricane taking up residence for multiple days it all makes sense. The factory is just 4 miles East of Addicks reservoir so it got swamped and will be recovering for weeks.

i've basically given the R to the kids.  They don't think listening to the motor is all the sound thats needed.

 

They want to replace the stereo.  what is the consensus on a mid grade double din replacement?  They want Nav/BlueTooth.   They plan to purchase off Crutchfield.  I tried reading a few threads but got bored.

 

Saw some posts about going around Factory amp being newer stereo's are better.  True?
