Wow, that is one of the worst looking circuit boards that I've seen come out of a car!

Be sure to find the source of the water.

The first 70K miles of my car were easily the mos reliable of any car I ever owned.

What came after 70K miles is a cautionary tale:

The cost of repairs do not scale down with age or depreciation.


This is true of all German luxury brands.

p.s.
The Miata NA was more fun and less costly than the Porsche... but certainly not as safe.

HAHA he lives in Georgia have you ever seen it rain along the Gulf Coast. I've seen it rain so hard in New Orleans that there was no discernible drops on the windshield, literally buckets, 5-6" standing water on the road. Raining so hard the crocs came out of the bayou at Raceland and were lining the highway!!! Has to be seen to believe.

I don't know how these cars survive along there. There is no way the drains can keep up with that. If I lived there the waterproof CLU box enclosure would be the first mod.
