Toronto Flood July 8th 2013 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So, I know for a fact that a few of our vehicles have been towed after yesterdays flood.
I got hit hard mid way home and was unfortunate enough to go into a puddle (car in front, car in back, no opportunity to stop).

So far what I noticed with my car:
After i came back home and parked there was steam coming off from front end of car. This bubbled some of the black tape on the wires (not a big issue).
The air filter was pretty damp yesterday. It's better now (was worrying the shit out of me).

When idling the car after the drive it would shudder a bit. I am assuming this was due to blocked off air flow due to air filter being damp. This does not occur now.

Now, please share your horror stories.
