Worse day of my life.

We had a flash flood in Russellville last night. It was raining so hard I could barely see the road. Well I hit a low spot and water came up to my hood and sucked water into the engine and killed the engine. Well I decided to push the car into a parking lot to get it out of the water. I pushed it up to high ground and had my brother come and get me. We were going to go ahead and have it towed to my house. When I came back, there was water up to the bottom of the center console on the interior. We went back tonight adn assessed the damage to the engine, it has atleast 1 broken rod. Luckly I have full coverage.

With the holidays being right around the corner, my insurance agent said we can't do anything about the car until next Monday, but she told me it's going to be a total loss. I guess I'm going to buy the car back and either buy an 03/04 Mach 1 and put my parts on it, or just see about fixing mine. Either way, it's the worst day in my life.

That sucks, you have had some bad luck lately. Soon as you get through all of it you'll feel a lot better. It can only get better from here man.

Yeah it sucks big time.

On a brighter note, for those who have wanted to hear the exhaust, here's a single pass I made at the track last weekend on motor.

Sucks man but let insurance have it, it will NEVER be the same. Flood cars are total losses for good reasons.

Click to expand...

Body would be good totally stripped and stuffed with a 408.

I agree otherwise as far as using it for a DD though.

Your crazy if you think I am going to let a car with full suspension, nitrous, Bogart wheels, perfect interior, cowl hood, 99/01 cobra bumper, smoked headlights and tail lights, Bullitt sidescoops, ect. ect. go to a salvage yard. I'm buying it back no matter what.

EDIT: Ok I get what you mean. Yeah I dont think I will use it as a DD anymore. But I have a 99 GT in storage that is mostly a shell. Might put these cars together and put a windsor in them or something cool.

Get the car back before they cut you a settlement check and swap all the stock parts back on and let them have it!
