man sorry bout your car... I was supposed to go but a bad wheel bearing prevented me... hope there is something worth selling out of your car.

 

I think they all would have died in a frenzied, panicking mob. Seriously, I think only good 'ole country folk could have taken it as well as they did. I mean, there were only a few people out of thousands that were actually mad, everyone else was having a good time.

I'm leaving in a few minutes to see if I can find my car. I just wanna see what it all looks like in the daylight. Maybe it will be fine, we'll see.

 

you definately want to check your fluids and the intake to make sure water didn't get into them.

 

Whats the car look like?

 

now we know why real men drive trucks !! lol

 

Um...We were sitting in the garage looking at my motorcycle and we both decided it was way to hot out to drive to Ionia. So she suggested we take the bike out to Lake Michigan and go swimming instead I couldn't argue with that. I was told by a few people that went there that security isn't letting people anywhere near the cars, so we probably wouldn't have gotten to see it anyway.

They're supposed to make an announcement today at 3:00 telling us when we can retrieve the cars. Looks like Friday at the earliest.

Yes the intake and all fluids will be checked, but if any water got inside at all, the car's totaled. It's been in the 90's here for the last couple days and that swamp water has been baking in it for 4 days now. It would cost more to clean the car than what the car's worth. I'll update later.

 

OUCH, I would leave it there. Hope u didn't have a lot of goodies in tht car!!!

 

Maybe Obama will buy everyone new cars .. Oh wait, rednecks, nevermind.

 

Make sure you take a lot of pictures when you do get to go to your car. That looks like it would have been a lot of fun if you had your truck!

 

UPDATE*
It turns out we do have comprehensive ins on the car, just no collision ins, which is a good thing. The city of Ionia called me yesterday morning and told me my car was "ready". I headed over there and found that water had seeped into the car. We thought about just having it cleaned real good but because the car sits so low to the ground, all the electrical components were sitting under water for a good 3 days in 95* heat so they would probably fail one by one over the next few months. We were also told that the air bag sensor was under water so it could deploy at any random time and replacing the sensor alone would be $600. So the insurance company totaled it and cut us a $2800 check (not too bad considering KBB price is $2200). So I get to go look for a decent $2800 car!

Here's a pic of how high the water was (look at the rust line on the rotor).


And here's a shot of the interior. The only thing wrecked was the carpet, and boy it it smell raunchy.
