Gave my Focus a bath, in a ditch.

I was going too fast for the conditions. I knew it was flooded more up the street, just didn't expect it here. The current pushed me right into the ditch.

Hydrolocked?
good to see you're safe
Most likely totaled car.

If he has stock intake the motor should be good, but they will need to replace every interior piece or give them one hell of a cleaning.

That is if he reports it to his insurance. Might be better to get it towed and take it home. Put some heaters and fans on it and take his time cleaning everything.

Hopefully your motor didn't cease up, and more importantly, its a good thing you didn't run into the fence. That could have complicated things.

I had a picture opportunity just like that of my $50 Micra, only it was ina farmer's field, sideways, and I was standing there laughing my ass off. When the puddle dried up I tipped it over and drove it home... don't think that'll be an option for the Focus there though...
