My father's solution to a Ferrari that was always full of water in the cabin was to drill holes in the floorpan to let the water drain out as it came in. I don't know if it had carpets when he got it, he used to use it with a couple of rubber mats on top of some sound deadening insulating felt. Happy days before Ferraris became investments that are too precious to use properly.


Moses, I was thinking along the same lines. Everyone around here says, "Well, why not dry it out and stuff, pull the carpets?" The water was backup from a storm drain, I have bugs and **** all in the car now, and the water smelled terrible. I figured it wouldn't get me too far.

Besides that I don't have any tools, at all, or anywhere to work on it.

Full Tilt, I think I was the only car at this particular parking lot to get flooded, but I just might not have heard about others.

Insurance company said the price ceiling for fixing it is $2500, otherwise they'll write it off. I'm going to assume it's more than that (will call dealer though), so how do I figure out how much to expect from them? KBB value is around $8700, and I just put on new tires and front rotors and pads.

I'm sure it'll all work out, but what bad timing..I'm supposed to drive home to Chicago this weekend for my sister's wedding.

Time to call the dealer!
