Default It's Official My Car Is Dead

Last Thursday my S2000 had a run in with one of our Florida Canals, and it was like losing a loved one. To make a long story short, I dropped my car off to get a oil change on Thursday, as I was paying for the oil change I decided to remote start the car to let it warm up, this was not a good idea. As I started the car the remote keychain I have started to go off, like there was someone breaking into my car, so we ran out to see what was going on to find my car at the bottom of the canal. I then proceeded to jump into canal thinking I could save my BABY without any luck. For some reason the car was able to start and drive off with the brake up and the car in 1st gear, this is someting I've done countless times in the past year. I would like to thank Will for coming to the funeral and drinking that bottle of Tequilla with us. May my BABY sleep in peace.

PS: I would post the pictures, but out of respect for my BABY I will wait until the mourning has gotten to a lesser degree.

So are you getting another S2000? Are you going to put another remote start on the new one?

Wow, that sucks! I'd be sad, but would take the insurance and for sure buy another one!

Good luck
