After an extremely adventurous outing this afternoon, a tow truck dropped us and my car off at the Mazda dealer at 10:30 pm. We left the car in the service parking lot, dropped the keys in the after hours key-drop, Tristan picked us up, and we got home at 11:30 pm.

Getting home by tow truck does not sound good. Hope it was not a wreck.
Not a wreck. Water.
Are you and Laurie OK, with just the Mazda needing help (I hope!)?
Just the Mazda. Too much water.
I’m glad you and Laurie are OK. Mazda’s can be fixed. Did you get caught in a really heavy rain, or also a little flash flood just to add to the adventure?
