All Wet!

April 3, 2004

OK... So to let everyone know how intelligent I am, I left the sunroof and driver's window down on my good ol' faithful 87 GT. Unbeknownst to me, it had rained that night and when I woke up the next morning, the center armrest console (which had also been left open) had 3 inches of standing water in it. The interior smelled like sweaty butt, my passenger's window motor shorted out, my power door locks died and my climate control panel died. There will no doubt be heavy evidence of mildew within a few days. I don't THINK any other electronic components got damaged although I think my Kicker subwoofer may have suffered some damage just from the humidity in the car as it never got directly rained on. If anyone can tell me where I might be able to find electrical doodads like switches and motors for my car that would be great. I really need these parts because I depend HEAVILY on this car to get me back and forth to work and school. For those of you who need it detailed I'll put my car's specs below this message. (that allows me to show a little bit of it off too :D )
