If that's as high as the water got, i doubt you'll have any damage...as long as it wasnt running at the time.

so sorry to hear my friend...

from the recent pics I have seen its not looking good. The problem with that car if indeed yours is the waves coming from the large trucks has been pushing the water up and over the hood....

I saw worse pics of jerrys car with large waves....

Damn bro, she will be in my prayers. As I am sure you know, these cars are loaded with eletrical crap everywhere.

Are there a bunch of flash floods in Houston?

loungn14

ya its pretty bad. Jerry said he parked the car in front of the shop, and within 20 minutes it was under water. They were scrambling to move cars but all areas were flooding with no where to go...

novae500

damn sorry to see this happen to you.. Hope its not as bad as you think it may be!

desired_speeds

sorry to see this. Hoping for the best for everyone in Houston!

did you manage to go unhook the batteries? I think if anything its a precaution incase water does get in.

SterlingE55

****!!! Sorry to see this for both of you. Now I need to check on mine.

Jerry has been keeping a eye on the car. Just go a text from him saying water has receded and car is dry. I will have to go by there after work to check it out.

I got sent home from work today to try and beat the flooding, but was sent out in the middle of it! I drove circles around my neighborhood for an hour looking for a way to get to my house, finally parked it on high ground when I saw these two trash cans floating down the middle of the street.



Decided to abandon the car there and walk to my house. On the way:

Helped this tech push this M5 to higher ground by my car...his had stalled.











I'm in the highest point of the street, standing in the middle of the prior picture's intersection. I'm 6'1" and the water is up to nearly my inseam.



Called a shoe hospital to ascertain the best way to treat these guys. Yes those are rocks.



View from my balcony.



So on to the bad news:
In the midst of driving home with ever-rising waters, my "check coolant, visit workshop" message popped up, car smelled a bit like coolant and sounded a bit funny. I have since driven the car home when the waters receded, my garage doesn't smell overwhelmingly like coolant and the message has since disappeared. Any ideas? I pulled off the intake housings and my filters are dry, and there is no puddle of coolant under my car. Coolant level looked fine when the fill cap was removed. Idle was rough when driving home in the rain, but idles fine in the garage now.
