Well guys, good news...
Car got worse throughout the night and there was water going to the dash. Adjuster noticed all the water in the dash area and wrote it off as a total loss. He wrote off 10 more cars in the lots in my community as total loss. We have 1 week to find a car and replace it with something else.
My wife said when the adjuster started the gas, water started pouring out of the exhaust and I think the vents in the dashes?
I'm very sad because I really loved that car. (was a pleasure to drive) so we'll see what wife decides to do.
Just figured I'd update you guys!
I must also add Geico was very good, and adjuster was very professional, friendly and timely. I'm very happy with Geico so far. Might even write a 'great job' letter to commentate a good job. It's been very stressful for my wife and I. Never dealt with something like this before, and GEICO couldn't have made it easier.
now off we go finding a new car... (which is stressful as well) She wants to look at a Q50 lease as an option, or a Q70

Should have asked at what point is automatic total loss. From all the reviews the Q is quite disappointing. But I guess you have to test it in person to see how it suits you and your wife.

what happened was I disconnected the battery because the electrical gremlins made the car go crazy in the water. He needed the mileage and reconnected the battery, and I guess instead of starting to 'on' he pressed the pedal and the car started. not my problem at that point. I even had a piece of paper on the dash saying "DO NOT START! FLUIDS ARE CONTAMINATED WITH WATER!!!"

I highly doubt I'm seeing anything out of this in my pocket, except the neg equity disappearing.

We liked the car. Not sure what the reviews say, I did look at them. they weren't terrible.
Women.... I would just get another G37. she's freaking out and we're looking at SUVs too now

I'm in Fort Liquordale and had a ton of rain that night too. I'm glad the adjuster totalled out the car for you. I saw the news reports from your neck of the woods and can't believe the amount of water that was dropped in such a short period of time. Have fun selecting a new car, Bro.
