The odor was pretty bad for about the 2 days after, it just smelt like pure mud, because that's basically what the flood water was. She sat out in the sun alllllll day today, and it dried it up pretty nicely. I'm pumped to clean her out tommorow.lolelectricbluesxt wrote:Sorry about your luck. Have you had any odor issues yet?
This reminds me of Katrina when all those cars had to be marked as flood vehicles or w.e. The mildew was just to much.

If you put in a claim they will probably have to total it. As shitty as that sounds it is probably your best bet. If my car sat in 2 ft. of water for more than 2 hrs I'd write it off as a total loss because things will never be the same electrically, mechanically or astetically again. I have a feeling it will haunt you the rest of it's shortened life. If they don't total it you will NEVER be able to sell it because your title will come back as a flood car if anyone does a Carfax search on it.
How did you NOT get water in the engine? You said you're dad drove it out?
That's a phukd up situation, sorry to hear about all this. Update us, have you driven it yet?

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car. Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you're going when you hit the wall, and torque is how far you drag the wall with you.

IDK the particulars with titles, but could you do a salvage title on a flooded car?

Hey, so whatever happened with your car? Does it smell like foot fungus or what? Any electrical or mechanical issues?
