okay so i got hydrolocked. Yeah yeah i know it was dumb. The puddle snuck up on me and raped me royally. but thats not the topic at hand. Thought i fixed everything but then everything ended up worse. So take it to the shop and everything is messed up hardcore. My question to you guys. Being in Texas and all should i (A)make an insurance claim and try to sell everything off my car on the side. or (B) do whatever it takes to get it running and then sell the whole thing. Im lost and aint exactly sure what to do What else could i do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or any other suggestions. Thanks in Advance

ok, I'm not from TX...Yet...but that **** happens here alot here in the winter when the snow melts too fast and so on.

I'm guessing for what the long term cost of an insurance hike would be that your best bet would be a new motor if you can swing it.
I don't know what kind of coverage you get in a spot where there's flooding and so on. Just a guestimate is all..

Either way, it's a shitty deal d00d. Thank god for cheap D17s!
