iHaTePiNk.com! - Boo, My Car Got Flooded

Tuesday, April 28, 2009

There was massive raining last night. This morning, friends' status updates indicated that many were staying home from work / school due to flooding. I opened my door, looked outside, and everything looked fine to me. I saw some people in the parking lot with car trouble, and some shaking out their car mats. I thought to myself, "Wow. They must've left their windows open last night. That sucks!" Then I got to my car and saw this behind the driver's seat:

D'oh! And my windows were not accidentally left open last night!!

Driving to work, all the water sloshed forward. Yippee. At least my car still works.

Eddy has offered to go with me to find a carwash with a wetvac. My first time using a wetvac, hooray!

so... how did your car get flooded with closed windows?

My car smells ... and not in a good way :( I am leaving the windows open at every opportunity. But it's hard because I'm generally afraid of leaving my car vulnerable in public. When I can, I'll be going to my parents' house and leaving all doors open and blowing a fan thru it all day! I'm also open to suggestions!

I have no idea how my car got flooded. I'll have to ask the mechanics next time I go in to get some work done on it. Although my friend Eddy noticed that water WAS draining out of the car from some hole in the front bottom ... so we think that's where it came in. A mysterious hole!

hum.... damn. maybe pour some rubbing alcohol on the carpet to try and evaporate some of the water ?that's what swimmers do to get water out of their ear right? it may help with the bacteria causing the smell too. Sorry hon. i guess you can also get an Air Spencer.
