Wet HHR

Came across this pic while looking at a national news feed. Sad situation down in Texas and extending to other states.

The owner of that HHR is probably reading this, thinking "I'm having the exact same problem as OP...."

I don't know how he drove into that. The DRLs/parking lights are on.

I noticed that too and wanted to say I was quite impressed that the car was still powered (doubt running) under that deep of water. Solid electrical connections GM!

You might want to look at the picture a little closer. The entire car is submerged in about 2-3 feet of water. The battery is below the water level. If it wasn't wet yet, it would be as soon as the water seeps in.
