Ahhhhhhh - there apparently was a flash flood in front of my house in the Heights. The one night I didn't park in the garage! I went to drop my son off at school and the floorboards and passenger seat were soaked. I can hear water swishing around when I drive. There doesn't seem to be any electrical/mechanical problem. It's an 09 Impreza with only 38,000 miles, paid off. I have comprehensive with a low deductible - waiting on inspector to come look at it. I am assuming all the carpet, floor padding, passenger seat need to be torn out and replaced. /rant
Get the insurance payoff, drill holes to drain water, sell on craigslist to moron who doesn't check carfax. Or get lucky that it takes a while to show up there.
If the water got high enough to get into the car you might consider changing or at least checking all of your fluids to make sure no water got in. I know it sounds weird, but I've had a car that got flooded that was never run during the flood and somehow water managed to get into the oil and transmission fluid anyway. I didn't notice anything wrong at the time, but eventually I had all kinds of problems as a result.
We're you the hero who saved the people in the bus? By just walking through water? So amazing. Walking through water must signal bravery and warrior strength. #wetfeethero
I'm more interested in knowing how you have a 8 year old car with only 38k miles. Do you work from home?
Drive your car into more water. Make sure it's completely flooded. Get that insurance money. Buy yourself a Bentley, pull bad b****es for a few months and wait for the next storm to flood your car again.
Probably bought it used after an elderly person who rarely drove owned it. I know an elderly man who owns a Cadillac from the early 90s with less than 50k miles.
I have a 40 year old car with LESS miles on it. How'd I get it? Its predecessor was stolen and left in a ditch with just a smidge of water in it. That Impreza is done, sooner or later, RIP.
