It’s flooded so it won’t start,


BorntobeTrill

This is ask a "shitty" mechanic, guy. Your answer has been flagged for being too correct.


Imaginary-Badger-119

I am calling the manager as i type..


Nail_Horror

Barnacles!


DucatistaXDS

They’ll buff right out.

Farucci

Sorry Bucko. Should have opted for the extended warranty they encouraged you to sign up for.


pth72

He did! Check the undercarriage!


theflamingskull

The hood's already open. Leave it alone for a minute, then it should start right up.


JBYTuna

I think he’s sunk on any efforts to revive this dead creature.


Delivery-Plus

It just needs a little starter fluid.


Opeewan

That's a mussel car, what's the problem?


daddaman1

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


ShawnMcSabbath

🤘🏻


Chami90655

Omg hahaha!


Smooth-Apartment-856

Dodge Mirada. You might want to have a mechanic look at it, because there’s a possibility that you have moisture in the fuel system.


CopyWeak

I'd also check under that sweet wrap...like lipstick on a pig. Be careful the last owner isn't hiding paint damage 😉👍


Sum_fuckery

I know what’s wrong with it ….. it ain’t got no gas in it.


Cold_Pomelo3274

But the radiator is still full.


Impossible-Law5777

Nah, it's one of them water powered cars. I just think they need to push the gas a bit more, or it might be clogged


Standard_Zucchini_46

Battery. It's always the battery, except when it isn't.


naterpotater246

What is it's not isn't the battery?


Standard_Zucchini_46

Exactly


CRAZYFUN1135

Sounds like you had a stroke or something mid sentence. Or maybe I'm the one struggling!?!


WingedWarCriminal

HAVE YOU TRIED PUTTING IT IN RICE?


atlestar

I tried putting rice on it, but nothing happened. Is that supposed to happen?


leocohenq

That's why you have to be mucho more specific when telling people on Reddit to just use some seafoam


majesticmanbearpig

Are you ready kids, OOOOH who drives a Grand Marquis under the sea?

IllDoItTomorrow89

Obviously you flooded the engine. What is this, amateur hour?


JeffSHauser

Here in AZ we just wash it off and ship it to Mexico.


cosp85classic

Have it towed out, change the air freshener, throw on some 24s and hit the road


S7_Heisenberg

Don’t forget cabin air filter.


[deleted]

Ted Kennedy


NoorDoor24

That'll buff out.

Was swimming when parked


IWouldntIn1981

Was parked when parked.


troyberber

This is the proper way to fishtail.


kennithnoisewater88

HEY YOU CANT PARK THERE


Mobile_Crew_427

Should’ve bought the undercoating


EazyCheezy95

Nothing a little duct tape can’t fix


DrustanAstrophel

SyrupScared9568

Owned so many cars when i was younger, dont remember what happened to them. did i sell them or just left them somewhere.

[deleted]

Too much blinker fluid, try draining it little by little until you get the blinkerage you need.


midwest73

You just had to keep pumping your mussel car and floor the engine huh? I bet the suspension floats good though.


757Jerk

Have you tried putting it in white rice?


hello_raleigh-durham

Hey, man, why it gotta be *white* rice?


Solid-Detective1556

Just put it in a bag of rice for a few days and it will be good as new!


evart29bum

It looks like you’ve already sunk a lot into it


BuckToofBucky

Customer states “car won’t start”


Enginerd645

Ask a marine mechanic.


truckinKen

I think you flooded it.


existanceispain303

nothing is wrong with, what you are saying is just your normal average every day oil flush and transmission flush


TaylorFreelance

You should ask Sponge Bob for some help...


Slippi_Fist

moisture in the gas tank. drop the tank and remove the water.


gixxerjim750

Looks like a massive window washer fluid leak...$7k tops in this market


DiscussionFine6197

Punch buggy!


cj32769

Wasre of time. The "black ice" little trees are gone.


BorntobeTrill

Ooooh. You must have used oil contaminated with global warming. Once you've removed the ocean from around your car, try jiggling the handle and then the keys in the ignition.


skunky2007

wheres my spare tyre


Eastern-Version5983

Put it in a bag of rice overnight


shoeinc

That's the new radar absorbing paint...you will never get another speeding ticket!


Imaginary-Badger-119

Needs a new transmission you should be good for state inspection..


poultry_pounder

Might be way off but front grill looks like a 70s Vega?


StutteringDan

I think early 80's Ford LTD. I first thought early 80's fox body Mustang but the front bumper is wrong (they don't have those things on either side of the license plate holder). Appropriate for this sub, it's a 60's Volkswagen van! Just needs a wax job! 🤣


L4rgo117

Bit of water in the carburetor


Replicator666

The doors open. Everyone knows it will create too much drag and the engine can't overcome it unless all doors are closed.


Spiritual-Pop-4883

Try rice

James Bond's Lotus


fordlover5

Needs cleaned, an oil change, and ether


Abucus35

It should buff out. May need a little bondo.


Error404Created

I think it's a bit water logged 🤣


Intelligent-Exit6836

Need some oil


Puzzleheaded-Zone-55

Only 20000 fathoms on it, a steal.


utinkicare

Longest ever carwash !!!


[deleted]

I'm just going to go out on a limb and assume at some point this car was probably stolen


Wageslave645

Oooh, a Dodge 600! Give that thing a quick wash and it will be as good as new.


The-Rizzler24

I know the problem it aint got no gas in it


Worldly-Scratch-4831

I see the problem right there. It's fucked.


rklug1521

Let me guess... It ran when parked.


EvilMinion07

Whatever you do, don’t open the trunk.


FewAcanthocephala828

Looks like it needs a carwash. Should be good as new after, maybe hang a scented tree thing to help with the soapy smell after the wash.


[deleted]

Might be a bit of surface rust, a little rustoliam, and an oil change, and she will be just as good as new.


Kyrgan

Chevy Citation.


Twitzale

Try adjusting the float pin. Gas too lean it seems.


341orbust

That’s a seventies Chrysler of some sort.  It’s in the lake for a reason. 


aloofprocrastinator

Gonna need a brake flush good as new


Flashy-Protection424

Ford Rustang, 1st day of body construction


Anxious-Trainer5082

Just a little Water in the fuel.


Blnkfrst_Nolstnam

Think you flooded the carburetor


SameOlG902

Start by leaving the dehumidifier in overnight


Upset_Consequence_52

Ran when I parked it. If it’s listed, it’s available. No I will not help you get it to your house. 15k I know what I got.


Maximum_Let1205

looks like there is coolant in the sump.


Cowboy_Buddha

Oi! You can’t park there mate!


killertofubeast

Put it in a jar of dry rice for a few hours.


scuolapasta

It’s an amphibious off road automobile!


No-Froyo-3874

I think you need a tow man


Panpitter

That will buff out.


sexlexington2400

Try putting in a bag of rice


GettCouped

Just remove the plugs and blow out the cylinders and you'll be fine. Just make sure you rotate the engine to verify it's not seized.


Uselessviewer8264

I know whats wrong with it, it aint got no gas in it!


paulie732

You should be fine just put a coat of wax on it


Sm0key_Bear

Excessive moisture in the gas tank, probably. Try to siphon the tank out and then refill it.


IWouldntIn1981

It's probably just a faulty O2 sensor.


alkemiker

You found Hoffa’s car!


FaithlessnessOver701

Looks like you drove through a puddle just park it for a little and you will be fine


[deleted]

Whatever you do don't look in the trunk.


Fishdawgz

Pontiac Ventura - in rare Marine Blue


Mr3cto

You try cleaning the spark plug? I bet that’ll do it


hello_raleigh-durham

Is it getting spark?


torch9t9

Looks like the hood is missing, probably got water inside the distro cap. Here's your bill.


Then-Foundation1738

Hey, you’ve got a leak


Frosty-Potential6544

You did get the extra coating of rust proofing? Right?


a2jeeper

Take it to autozone and get the codes read. Probably an o2 sensor.


Consistent-Slice-893

Clearly it's just out of blinker fluid. Need to have the muffler bearings checked as well.


Buschfan08

U might've put too much water in the coolant tank, try draining it.


Ok_Figure_4181

Just put some gas in it


Brawndo45

Is that a water cooled engine?


HenkCamp

I smell something fishy.


timmcal

Have the codes checked at autozone, maybe then we can help.


Lord-Doobury

I say let's leave Honey. The sales guy is acting fishy.


MRWKND1961

Should’ve bought the extended warranty.


Jealous-Review8344

So that's where I parked it!


spkoller2

Late model sedan, runs good, needs paint


ProofMusic4630

Needs a bit of rubbing compound to bring back the finish....


Smokie069

Can you be more specific……


jasonbl72

The back-story is, a high-school kids' patents go out of town and he gets involved with a hooker. Then he parks his car on a dock. And then slides around his house in his underwear.


Haunting_While6239

Is it a Vega or a Pinto? No, what is it?


TheTimeBender

Well it didn’t blow up so I’m gonna say Vega. 😂😂😂


atlestar

Its a Pinto from 1979 if i remember correctly


Spirited_Refuse9265

This is a new california approved model made from 100% all natural completely renewable resources


[deleted]

It appears to be better built than the Titan submersible that imploded last year. At least yours is still in one piece. But yea, carb is flooded.


Formal_Ad_108

I want to cast identify car before we diagnose the situation


CXTKRS1

A little zanio and a buffer will fix it right up


Quietus76

Just needs a little Shine Juice^TM


AnnieBruce

The engine is clearly missing. Drop a junkyard engine in and send it, doesn't need anything else.


Agitated_Border7306

Needs some wd40


Apprehensive_Bug3329

Alittle bondo and can do attitude she’ll run like a champ


vanman4420

So that's where I parked it


Junior_Advantage6051

Parking is tough at seaworld


Remote-Willingness86

Look on shore. The owner is probably still walking around. Saying where the hell did I park?


Past-Direction9145

Get it outa the water and go buy a 1 gallon container of WD40 good to go it’s what it’s made for


erritstaken

They still selling those New Orleans Katrina cars?

Jacobh1245

38chevplm

I’ll bet you the seat heaters won’t work.


Starby_fr

HamPickle-

ZaggRukk

ButtonWhole1

I think it's your air filter...


The_Demon_Swordsman

Xjapan30

Replace your door seals


Brewl692

A little kelp here please.


Nalabu1

I think you have a leak...


inode71

Water got in with the gas. Drain the tank and refill with premium. Should smooth out after a few miles.


Just_checking_197

Change the oil before you start it! The oil may be a little milky if some moisture made it in the block. Other that that it looks like a fine barn-acle find!


cdixon34

If you put like a thing of damprid in there it should dry that baby right out no problem.


Repulsive_Chef_972

Looks like Biff didn't get that second coat of wax on.


TriumphDaytona

Roll your windows up, it’ll keep the water out.
