Did he drive through a lake? This flips my burger, I have been useing Cold Air Intakes forever and driven through all kinds of rain and snow and never hydrolocked.

The only way to hydrolock a motor with a Cold Air Intake is if you completely submerge the filter in water. So that means you would have to drive the car through a "puddle" of water that is at least a foot high. Now why would you want to drive a car through that much water anyway? Cold Air Intake or not i'm not going to drive my car through a foot of water, it's just stupid. Even if you didn't have a CAI on the car, there are other things that could happen to your car running through that kind of water.
