Research project for anyone bored at work today: Why does my 1992 Crystler LeBaron Convertible keep flooding on the driver's side floor? We can't figure out how the water is getting in (my da...

Ben calls that an expensive rattle. It's one of the loudest cars with tons of problems and I'm forbidden from getting it. Soo cute though!
