My 126 does not smell at all. The smell comes from bacteria. Bacteria need water in order to survive. A month in a low humidity enviroment and there would be no smell.

Again I think we have a communications issue here. You equate a "flood car" as any car that has had water in it at all when in reality the flood cars that are really problematic are the ones that have had salt water in them or muddy water in them.

My 126 has been the most reliable car I have ever owned in my life. I just hate it when old wives tales suddenly become "fact" when it comes to urban legends like the notorious "flood car".
