stupid rain

while on my home this evening there were heavy rains here in NJ. Well stupid ewing road service or police didnt have any signs a road was flooded and the road was pretty dark, so i ended up going through a huge puddle that had the water up to at least the bottom of my car. No water got into the interior, and the car didnt stall, but tomorrow morning i have to see if the air filter is soaked. They should have had a sign up or something to indicate the road was flooded. I was only in the puddle for maybe 5 or 10 seconds, so the car should be ok. anyone know if any damage was done who covers it, mazda warantee or my car insurance company

No on the warranty.

Maybe on the car insurance.

If damaged, your car insurance. No damage likely - open the airbox to be sure the airfilter didn't get wet and if you're feeling really guilty, go get the oil changed.

i checked the top of the air filter, its too dark and too wet for me to fiddle with getting it off right now. I started the engine, and it let it run for about 10 minutes. it ran as smooth as anything...god i love this car... I drove it up and down the parking lot and it was fine, at first the brakes werent grabbing right, but that corrected it self after pumping them a couple times. tomorrow i will wake up early and mess with the airbox

I do live in the ewing, nj right near lawrenceville. i grew up by the shore, but moved here to be close to work. is there anything cool to do around here, i only know 1 person here...and well he's a dick
