Peace,Grits |
have you ever submerged a battery and then tried to run electricity through it?
i forgot to mention that i saw some people in a metal row boat in a parking lot trying to get to their car before i attempted to drive through the flooded road. all i could think was "wow, im glad i dont have to do that"

i love southern california, flood to me is like going through a big puddle at an intersection. of course there was the one time a few years ago I went to flordia and there was a huge storm while we were driving on the freeway, my moms like "well...I can still see the guys tail lights in front of me so I guess I'll just follow him" suddenly he pulls off to the side. it was at this point my mom goes "hmm..I really can't see a damn thing" and we pulled over, ok so that story isn't as bad but waiting in the car for a few hours while it rains and rains isn't too fun, but thats the worst its been for me.

How does a car just Burste into flames?
About 6 months ago i put a lot of money into giving my car a new paint job 3000$ and no longer than 3 days after my neighbor backed into it and made a dented scratch the size of a beer keg.....
Luckily she had left a note in my window...had I been there when it happened i could have damaged her car even moreso than she did mine

I have no idea, but the flames were quite high lol. I parked up, walked to the sports centre for a game of tennis with a friend and he pointed out that there was smoke coming from my car, then these red flames started rising from it.... then I went a funny colour. Then panic set in lol. Then I had no car

it didnt
I dont know what insurance is like outside england but at the time i had 4 years of no-claims, once you hit 5 years the cost of insurance comes way down. Car wasnt worth a great deal and would have cost me more in the long run with increased insurance if i'd claimed for it. So I had to take the loss waaaaaaaaaa
