Hi guys,
I don't normally post on your forums, but I have been almost logging in daily, reading up on all the funny/sad stories and informative info on this site.
I live in Seattle, and there's been some heavy rain these few days. I mean, it's Seattle, right? But this morning as I was headed out to work, I opened the door to my underground parking in my apartment complex and there was my LS, along with 3 other cars, in 3-4 feet of water. The water at that time already about engulfed my headlights..my $400 hid kit...The storm drain didn't work obviously...
I called my insurance company and after that, went to work. I sat at my desk and as the time went by, I got more upset and angry. I eventually left work and came back to look at my dead baby. I couldn't even get to the door. People at work felt bad for me, but they just told me to replace it.
That's where they won't understand...but I know you guys will. I've spent years fixing/fixing-up the LS, from the ball joints, to the stupid coil plugs, to the sagging headliner, and countless small problems,(can you tell its a 2000?) but after all that, I still loved my LS.
And it makes me want to cry now, when I think about when I looked everywhere for a custom exhaust shop to make me a magnaflow system, or when I bought my KKM filter, or when I tinted the windows, or when I bought my trenz grill, or when I added a factory spoiler, or when I bought brand new rims/tires....or when I.....well the list just continues.
I don't know, I just wanted to get some of that off my chest. I know no one outside the Lincoln community would understand my pain.
At this very point, water is still being pumped out of the garage and I will have my LS towed so a claims adjuster can take a look at it hopefully tomorrow. I loved my LS, and hopefully if I can get some money back, then I'll put it on a newer 03+ LS. I can't think of any other car I would want to drive. Anyone have suggestions? If your LS was taken from you one day, would you consider getting another one?
Thank you to the whole LS community out there, not just on LvC. These years with my LS I will never forget.
Jeff
