well technically i could've been raped....financially anyways.
problem was i didn't know it was flooded. At first it cranked - then it didn't - then i noticed it wasn't clicking?? I got some jumper cables and did the 'oh it might be the battery' dance n' low and behold...nothing happened..Hit up john, he came thru - we did a quick version of the deflood method and was up n' going in 20 minutes.
w00t w00t!

John: thank you for your uber hacker skillz and deflooding my damn car 
update. car is workin' fine
Drove around for a lil' bit - redlined onto a couple of freeways. Rev'd it hard up against the sound walls on the 22 and heard some loud pop's. All is well again.
John, i owe you my bottle of sake - remind me to bring it the next time we kick it.

yeah, iono if this has ever happened to any 06' and up models...either MT or AT?? 
either way. What basically happened was the last day i was here - i came home from work. The car sat for about 2 to 3 hours - then i moved it really quickly to the front of my house and shut it off while it was still cold. THEN took off for about 4 days. I could see how this could've happened to an 04 or 05 but didn't think it would happen to an 06'
guess i should've read those 'i flooded my car' threads

Mike...so you should sell your FC and get some CR-kais for your 8....I just found out they are on sale...and can get some 17"s for 1000

Yeah, it's ok though. At the rate the 8 depreciate, a set of good rims might cost as much as the car.
Hell, a Greddy Turbo Kit is worth 1/3 of an 04 already.
