My dad was buying repairing then selling flood cars from hurricane katrina, and you just need to change the oil a few times, fill it, run it, drain it... even after it looks good, go for a drive t get the revs up a little, then drain it again. he did about 10 of these cars and every one that he fixed is still going. None had a supercharger so i dont know what the deal is on that... maybe get a new one to be safe? Good luck though man, sorry to hear about your luck.

 

what a painful read

 

sorry i know i'm not good on punctuations lol

Now i have to deal with the towing company to get my car fix from the damage the driver caused to my body kit

 

Hurry up and sell it and get a new one even tho they said ur engine its fine water damage can kill you engine

 

*Sigh*, So long as it didn't bend any internals, and he gets it out of the fluids.. that engine is fine




PS... 34,000 miles put on the car since those were taken

 

Nice Siphon

 

Wow those are some pictures. Why did you park your car there?

sorry I had to.

 

I feel your pain. Luckily mine just dried itself out and there was no water in the fluids. There was about 4" of water in my floorboards and at its highest point, the water outside my car was up to the GM emblem. All because some dipshit forgot to open the dam to let the little decorative creek flow into the big ass lake next to the hotel I was staying at

 

It's directly in front of my apartment.. and it didn't look like a river when i went to bed the night before!

 

Damn mine wasnt that bad. What did the inside look like?

Yea mine got alittle over the ss emblem. It sucked i hate not having my balt i miss her i should be getting her back soon from the dealer. Now i have to deal with the tow truck guy to fix my body kit. That ****** at least he owned up to it said he was going to pay for it out of his pocket called me yesterday.

 

So you're still driving it? Yikes, I hope they got all the smell out of it. I thought in most states they automatically go ahead and total it if the water reaches a certain height? Yours is up to the roof.

 

It was totalled and i bought it back and fixed it. It has NO smell and a few of the indy guys on here can vouch for me on that..lol.. I started tearing it apart 2 days later.. the mildew/mold didn't have time to grow .. I ended up with the car paid off and fixed out of the insurance settlement.. I figured I would risk having a few problems out of it when I came out of the deal with no car payment.. so far, no issues at all

 

Shouldnt drive on a flooded street.

 

Good news everyone I'm getting her back better than before got eveything change out. They even servced my brakes and my abs light was on they said one of my hub bearings was going out they fixed that too. Hell yea Cant wait till tommorow

 

sorry to hear that, weather in houston gave Bush intercontinental problems too, what this meant to me is OVERTIME

 

What the hell possesses you people to drive through puddles that deep? Obviously the one with the red car and the sedan is un-avoidable, but jesus christ... If it's up to your DOORS why the **** are you still driving?!

 

well their was a toyota corrolla in front of me that made it i figured i could too. monkey see monkey do

 

Guess it's probably different down there than it is here too...we don't get floods and the roads are never flooded where I am from. I've only driven through deep water once when a water main break happened on the road to my work. It was across 2 lanes of the road... I got a running start, clutched in and idled through about a foot or so of running water. That was quite scary... lol

 

yea today it was flooding bad again today it was kinda scary a bunch of car got towed today i learned my lesson though

 

or a sink hole. didn't someone just focked their car like a week ago doing something similar? , does anybody have one of those intake adapter tha breaks the siphoning if the filter happens to get flooded, if so do they work?, any pros/cons?

 

I never heard of those kind of filter where do i find one

 

Dang, I remember that the other day. I decided against taking my cobalt out for a spin.

 

its called a bypass valve, you can get them from aem, only thing is you gotta measure the size of the piping and hope that they have the diameter...

i used to sell them when i worked for a shop, popular with honda CAI...

 

looks like the top half of ur antenna survived

 

^thank god he didnt have a shorty he woulda never found it
