car flooded?
I started my car long enough to move it out of my driveway, and the next day I tried to start it and it wouldn't. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing helped. Had to have it towed 30 miles to the closest Mazda dealership. They said I flooded it by not letting it warm up before shutting it off. They got it started, but does this really happen or are they just feeding me a bunch of s***?

didn't you read the manual and the quick tips book that came with the car? did you try the hard start sequence in the manual? hold the gas pedal all the way to the floor and crank for 10 seconds then let the gas pedal up and crank again?
