Getting the name of the car wrong, or getting a car that’s less than 10 years old to rust in Texas.

I think I recall Houston collecting a lot of water recently

El Paso, yes. Houston? Not so much. They don’t call it the Bayou City for nothing.

But isn’t that higher quality European car rust?

Coastal areas are tricky. First mile or two inland? They can rust out fast.
Anywhere else is usually safe.

Probably on the coast of Texas to get that rust

If the water got up that high, the thing sure as hell wouldn’t be drivable.

It’s even closer out here in the west. Maybe a handful of city blocks, sometimes even less.

Maybe he meant Kia Impaled?

Yeah, cars in salt air climates tend to rust from the top down, too.

Well, maybe if you filled the engine bay with rice right away instead of trying to turn it on first.

No no it’s a Chevy Impala that’s been killed in action by a flood.

FALSE.
Source:
Owned a Dodge Stratus that had been a flood car. It had been completely underwater, then sat with the front end submerged for long enough to get green algae lines inside. Drove that car almost 200k without issue other than the occasional musty smell from the vents.
