Unhappy I need to vent...

I seldom post here, usually reading stuff but dayam I'm so bummed out right now that I cant even be ****. I think I hate the rain now, my WRX was flooded and now it won't start (anyone know where the ECU is at?)..I work the night shift at bmw and while I'm working its pouring and my co workers warned me that there's water flooding right above the door...the passenger side is all soaked, dayam....its 2:33 am in the morning and I get of around seven, stranded at work (exaggerating), aaah!! and I"m not even done with my work!! I guess this is the appreciation I get for being nice and try to save a parking space for the morning people...man, I not even mad, just bummed out ahh!! for whoever is reading thanks, I just needed to vent somehow...payce out back to work I go!!!

ECU is in the passenger footwell to the right side.

Sorry probably not the news you wanted to hear.

Get outside and push your car away from the water. Maybe even unplug the battery so nothing shorts out.

Let the car dry totally and then hook up the battery and hopefully nothing shorted out.

I don't have a lot of experience with something like this but I hope for the best for you

thanks guys, just waiting to get off work and see if the car will even start up hopefully..yes I did unplug the battery, thats the first thing the technician said, but he said it won't start up and everyone at work right now is recommending me to just call up the insurance co. and claim it..dang it, I don't really care if I had a pool of water in my car but sucks having no ride home, or a ride at all...
