Default underwater tc

the recent flooding that happened over here in ny killed my car. those _______s didn't block the roads properly, didn't have police to guide traffic, and didn't sand down the cones. Well to make a long story short, it was late at night and what I thought was a small puddle... turned out to be a massive flood. fml.

Sorry for your loss.... but how many times do people need to be told NOT to drive through water on a road during potential flood conditions?

Another Sad Part to your story....Once you get rid of your tC...

The place that buys it will probably fix everything and ReSell it on the West Coast someplace....Then someone will buy it get Screwed over.

the weather died down so i took a chance. plus with work the next day i wanted to be home. i used to be ignorant of all rain and flood warnings because even in the worst of all floods i would always make it home, due to the roads being blocked or detoured, but in this case i guess i won't ever take a chance like that again.

the car is getting junked, and i'm making sure of it.

That's really, really sad man. I hope the insurance comes through for you and replaces your car.

Now, would insurance total that knowing that there were flood warning which you disregarded? I am in no way saying it is your fault, as you have mentioned they didn't block the roads properly, didn't have police to guide traffic, and didn't sand down the cones.
