Roh96 6th Gear November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 The smarter ones will not sell their 'salt water' car immediately after the repair, they should know everyone wary including 2nd hand dealers at this moment. They should hold on their car for another 6-12 mths until everyone has forgotten about this incident then sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishcumstrue 6th Gear November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 or....meeting the mistress? or rich taitai?! No lah. Look closely...notice 2 legs sticking out from the Merc?

Hermitage 1st Gear November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 Wow! Pretty bad huh? I really haven't been following the news lately, only knew that there was a flood and that 'some' cars were damaged because of it. But I didn't factor in the possibility of underground carparks (with expensive cars in it!) getting submerged with flood water...but yeah, in retrospec, that would be REALLY bad!

Wishcumstrue 6th Gear November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 (edited) Wow! Pretty bad huh?

But I didn't factor in the possibility of underground carparks (with expensive cars in it!) getting submerged with flood water...but yeah, in retrospec, that would be REALLY bad! yeah it was bad and lucky no casualty. Flash floods comes and go very very rapidly and motorist are often caught in one until too late, sometimes resulting in fatality. PUB now install water-level warning devices around this area, but I doubt it can prevent similar level of material damage. Any one seen the movie "2012" lately?

Wishcumstrue 6th Gear November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 sorry for nitpicking again, but why we still using the word "drown" for non-living thing?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 sorry for nitpicking again, but why we still using the word "drown" for non-living thing?! Because it is perfectly acceptable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Help1 1st Gear November 25, 2009 Author Share November 25, 2009 (edited) sorry for nitpicking again, but why we still using the word "drown" for non-living thing?! becos there are no other better words to describe the situation...drown means no medicine can cured liao, if can cure also paralyse/disable....so the cars that are being drown either write-off or repaired with inherent issues...... in addition, car owners in SG see their cars more impt than their own lives, willing to work for the car rather than the car work for them....

Kusje Supersonic January 29, 2017 Share January 29, 2017 I got a question. Motorbikes are always exposed to the elements so how come their engines don't have this problem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ody_2004 Turbocharged January 29, 2017 Share January 29, 2017 I got a question. Motorbikes are always exposed to the elements so how come their engines don't have this problem?

Same with car.. i kenna once in sembawang.. my ek4 was caught in a flood.. engine ok as i off the engine immediately but the ECU got water damage as water cover it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
