Does full coverage comprehensive insurance cover flood?

So you're not a female?

Very much so. I use the term much like one would say "hey girlfriend".

She is a girl, and she is my friend. Its not like we have sex with each other.

My girlfriend bought a car off eBay from H-Town - I warned her - even though it wasn't branded - it was a flood car. I'd never buy a car from there or Nawlins for that reason. You guys get floods way too often.

I have always like those cars. They look pretty decent, and I think they probably have a lot of potential to be a fun little car. How did it do on the track?

sorry for the highjack...

i never really experienced the full potential of the car because i only ran it for one season of autox with eibach's, tokico's, ST sways and rod millen strut bars on street tires. i had a lot of understeer. but the engine was peppy and always on the power band.

i love it as a daily driver. the only reason i bought this model was it had a full mazda drivetrain, 1.8L twincam. engine is very reliable, never gave me any problems and so far all i've done is do maintenance on it. all said and done it's still far from an e30. :)

mods: eibach's, tokico's, ST sways, rod millen strut bar, PRM intake, jacobs electronics ignition, pace setter headers and cat back. after market part are very limited.

Flash flood. We got 9 inches of rain in about 3 hours in my area. I got stuck in it and was trying to get home. The water looked fairly shallow but about halfway through I must have hit a dip and water rushed over the hood and windshield.

now that mustve been a pretty big dip.

the same happened to my escort gt. water up to the bottom of the seats and my cd changer and 1 amp under the seat was submerged.

my dad left it in front of his friends house and it was raining really hard. when he came back i guess the water subsided and he tried to start it. i have a cold air intake that is down the fender. good thing he didn't start it with the water still up. car won't start and i had it towed to my house. never tried to start it again and let it dried for a week.

i air dried the interior, sprayed lysol, removed my amp and changer to let dry as well. i removed the air filter and afm. checked the oil and it was fine. i blow dried the engine to make sure and reconnected everything. the car started right up but my radio is still not working. i used seafoam and changed the oil, drained the coolant and replaced too. i'll reconnect my amp and see if it plays. other than the radio, no electrical issues at all.

i was bumed because the car was a great daily and for a 91 model it only had 75K miles. it had no full coverage and it's probably only worth less than $2K running.

unless water got in the engine, trick is to let everything dried before starting. disconnect the battery ASAP to avoid any short.

this was my first car

No shit, that is a blessing. Those cars are turds. Surprised it didnt pwn itself long ago.
Buy her a clean late model E36 and be done with it. At least you know it will last (sans automatic trans).

I checked the oil and it's like sandy clay. I'd say it's done.

Isn't that a normal oil condition for all 1.8T engines?

Coming from a current 1.8T owner...
