While I was fixing the belt on the Riviera my street flooded, something I haven’t seen once in the 16 years I’ve lived here, and got up to the seats in the Nissan and Miata. Got them pushed to the center of the road and started the Mazda— which was NOT happy— and into the driveway. The Nissan cranked a few times, sputtered, then made two pops and wouldn’t crank, so I guess it somehow hydrolocked. Other than water in the everything, the Miata’s wiring harness and ECU was completely submerged so... yeah. And since the ‘yata was a rebuilt title in the past Progressive wouldn’t give me comprehensive on it, and comprehensive wasn’t on the Nissan because old, I guess.
Have a picture of the creek behind the house that’s usually a foot wide. It’s gone up another couple feet since then.

Not great to hear this! Could mean you’ve lost two cars...does not sound good for the Nissan :(
Water in the Miata electrics? Not good either...
Will be watching for your update once you figure out all the damage :(

Miata electrics are notorious for taking a dump if they get even the slightest bit damp.

I need to blow-dry the wiring harness and open the computer up and set it in the sun. The problem is flood water has so many contaminants it can cause tons of issues.

I feel your pain. We’ve had more than our fair share of water around here lately.

Mother nature really boned you. You’re gonna need a lot of silica packets or rice for the electronics.

At least the Riviera I can just put the belt back on (again) and it’ll move.
