370z's make really s*#t boats...

Long story short - I saw water on the road, looked shallow, wasn't. Drove thru, water mangled my front plates and plate cover ripped off, engine cut out, car floated

Default 370z's make really s*#t boats...

Long story short - I saw water on the road, looked shallow, wasn't. Drove thru, water mangled my front plates and plate cover ripped off, engine cut out, car floated a few feet, I got a little sea sick. Car won't start. Funny smells and
gurgling noises. Tow truck came and towed home. RACV says hydralics locked (whatever that means) and water in air ducts.... Need to tow to
dealer on Tuesday and told not to start engine.

Fully insured with $500 excess but really worried now...

Anyone have a similar insurance claim on past cars before as I've heard there might even be an engine replacement required!!?? Argh the downtime!

I'm strangely stressed about this situation
