Well, i am from St.bernard Louisiana, directly down river from New Orleans. When we evacuated i decided that if i put my car on a rack at my shop 7 feet up it would be OK, but unfortunitly, we got 8 feet.

Why does everyone thingk the car is toast? Strip the interior, drain the engine/gas tank of fluids, clean everything up, and it'll *almost* be as good as it was. I do realize that water goes everywhere, but rust can be fixed.
