As I've mentioned before, the flooding issue is of concern even to conscientious owners for two reasons[list=1][*]Valet Parking[*]Stalling the car when cold[/list=1] I know, "don't valet," but in some areas of the country (particularly Southern California) you literally have no choice, and if your 8 is your daily driver, it will have to be done...

Surprisingly, there've been very few reports of people getting towed after either of these two circumstances. Mostly, the flooding reports have been from people moving their cars on their own driveways, then leaving their cars for a few hours, then trying to start without luck. Other people have reported flooding after washing their cars. In fact, several people have said that they've stalled their MT cars and started them up without incident. The biggest problem has been people flooding has their ATs. I'm betting the reason is that people with ATs usually have cars that have more than one driver, and the second driver inevitably forgets to let the car warm up.
