Thanks guys...I'm going to try to get it settled with my personal insurance, and, if I can't, then I will try to speak with a lawyer.

thanks,

1. You have a aftermarket intake that is common for hydrolock
2. Your the one who drove in the water

and you may think of a lawsuit? Silly americans.

Yep, the sense of entitlement is strong with this one...

Don't worry, we're not all like this.

I have a Lotus 7 sometimes I can't order a parts in England. They will not sell the parts to me. They are scared of being sued for the liability...yeah by silly americans...hahahaha!
I don't blame them a bit.

Sorry...I'm not like that too. I valued my personal decision.

I think in Canada..when you sue someone and you lose, you pay the guys lawyers fee and other stuff?
That should be implemented to the USA.

You need 3 feet or so of water before you inhale the liquid.

More like 8". I had water over my hood from 5-8" (I did not measure it) and hydrolocked with a stock intake.

File a claim with your insurance putting the blame on the station and see what happens... you might get lucky.

Didn't see that in the first post. Good catch!

I thought he was using one of those silly AEM V3 intakes.

They aren't "silly" and you have to be a retard if you hydrolock a CAI. If you put it on your car you damn well should know what you can and can't do with it.

Drive in the rain? Yes
Leave my car outside for 2 days in the rain so water builds up inside the tubing? No
Completely submerge it under water? No

Those who do not own a garage should not be putting CAI's on their car.
