Default Typhoon in my CAR?

I am in LA working (and hunting the VWNinja for a showdown).

On Monday at the Airport parking one of my Sunroof guides broke making in impossible to close the sunroof without some tools and time. So I left the sunroof with about a half inch vertical gap between the glass and roof on the rear driver side corner.

So that f***ing hurricane blows through Georgia yesterday and dumps 8 f***ing inches of rain on my Car!!!! -I could do nothing about it.

ANy predictions on what I will find when I fly home on Friday to my Car?

I'm sure it will smell fantastic.

Definitely. I've seen that trick on the site a couple times -so I guess it must work. The seats are leather, at least I've got that going for me.

Good news. The Parking Company "Park N Fly" stuffed a trash bag into the crease after about a half day of rain. So it probably was only exposed to about a third of the deluge. The back seat floor had some dampness, and the inside of windows were covered in water from the extreme evaporation off the floor -but thats about it.

Doesn't even smell any worse than it did. Im gonna go for the dryer sheet solution once I get the moisture out.

Just thinking about the fumes from the torpedo heaters makes me sick to my stomach!
