My poor car!
This morning I came out of the house to find my car standing in water up to its axles...the water subsided quickly but left several gallons inside the car where you would normally put your feet. I vac'ed it out using my neighbor's shop vac (jeez, I gotta get me one of those! so cool) but it remained fairly squishy. Also when I started the car, using the remote starter and standing way back in case it decided to explode, about a gallon of water came out of the exhaust pipe.
But now it's mostly fine. I drove it to work and back without incident, and it doesn't smell bad...yet. I can't leave the windows open to help it dry because it's still raining off and on. We'll take it to get its carpets shampooed and steam cleaned ASAP and with luck it'll be ok.
Of course, all the metal parts may be disintegrating into rust this very moment...but as long as it smells fresh, who cares?
