Think this car is going to be the same after the snow melts? It wasn't hit by a plow either, the mirror is still in tact.

it might be.

The snow probably crushed the suspension. Melting snow might ruin the motor/electrical.

cars been sitting for more than a month, so battery has little to no amperage, that and parasitic drain will kill it, not necessarily f u c k i n g up the entire electrical system though...

im sure it will start again with simple preventive maintenance procedures....

I'm just saying if a lot of water gets in there it could mess with the electrical.

I think 'preventative' is already out the window.

I bet the interior will get some leakage too.

The interior is going to smell like a wet dog. The snow sits right on top of the air intake for the cabin. under normal rain there is a drain that can take care of moisture, but that much is going to ovwerwhelm it and start flowing inside and destroying most of the interior electrical.

See! Even Jer agrees the electrical system is in for havoc!
