I think if it was still running, she'll be OK - hydrolock is "Bang, clank clank clank...."

This is what happens when someone makes fun of another member's column lock problems!!!!

Seriously, I wish Mark the best of luck in getting his car back into good running condition again.

That's encouraging. I've only personally known two people who had true hydrolock (both were in BMWs) and they're engines simply completely froze up. No restarts. No driving at all. That you were able to get home also sounds better than what they had.

Anyway, with all that water - I'd be looking for some scotch to go with it.

Hope it works out OK.

YIKES!! Holy Shnikes!! That is a lot of water, I'm just glad to hear that she's still running. I think you need to go have that car blessed or something to get rid of the curse.
