Heres a few pics of NXTVKTM




Havent downloaded any pics of my 2006 Focus yet that we just picked up a few weeks ago, but the water actually picked the car up and moved it about 4ft....It was unfortuneatly flooded too, The focus didnt start, but the Cobra does and the speedo will bounce from 0-160 back down to 100-140.

Luckily, I guess you could say, we are in an apartment complex, we are on the 2nd floor. Called insurance company, just waiting for a call back. Sorry to hear about everyone else's losses too, it will be amazing if the Cobra lives through this now.... Just want it to make it till the new Cobra's come out, then..... Trade it in

Man that sucks Ryan. You went through sooo much to get it back running too. Well, keep your head, up and don't get discouraged. It's an awesome car, just don't forget that. It can be fixed.

well if the water got above the door sill be prepaired for the insurance to total it out. thats what my insurance agent with state farm told me when I lost my car to a flood. (floated 6 miles down a river and ended up in a field)
hope there wasnt too much damage. I would change out the oil in the engine tranny and rear end quick so the water if any managed to seap in there dosent have a chance to attack the bearings.

From what I have heard, the car is full of mud inside and out. It runs, but the speedo bounces all over the place while the car is standing still. So I'm sure there is tons of electrical damage. I'm sure Ryan will fill in the blanks.

---

Yeah the water actually cleared out within a few hours of me noticing it. While the car is idling the speedo bounces around and while it is doing that the computer thinks the car is moving at the rate of speed the speedo is saying, so it is actullay putting miles on the car while sitting there.... I will find out more when the insurance people get a hold of it.
