After parking the car it caught on fire from the dashboard the firemen came and extinguished the fire and said it was from the electrical fire from the dashboard.
Driving from nj to upstate ny for ski trip to hunter mountain. Heavy rain during drive up on friday evening, rain all day saturday. Got in the car to go skiing on sunday morning and noticed several inches of water in rear passenger footwell. I was able to bale out some of the water but interior carpeting was soaked. While going to hunter, water was sloshing between passenger footwell and rear. After dropping off the skiers I decided to head home on the ny state thruway.
