holy crap, that sandstorm has cursed my car too! melted the throttle cable, made holes in the 2 front brake lines, blew up the heater hose, shorted out my battery, made the belt on my water pump pop off, broke my water pump, my car wont turn off unless i stall it, i cant start the car unless i use the keyless start up, and i think thats about it! dont feel bad, my car has morte problems, all thats left to fix though is the water pump and thats already off im just wating on a new one.
