i was comming down my friends road and it was flooded not to bad but covered the road so i was going really slow then all of a sudden it stalled. so i start it back up and poof a big cloud of white smoke comes out and thank god we were like right around the corner from his house. well i get it into the driveway and it stalls. so i go to start it up and it starts weird then when it dose get started the whole car shakes really bad i mean like i have a rotor bouncing around in there. well it was smoking really bad. a friend of mine said i could have fouled a plug. but it got really bad but now i am stranded like 40 miles from home. and the car is staying here. if the motor is blown which i hope it is. when they go to rebuild it then they can port the ****. the damn motor only has 1800 miles on it so it is covered under warrantee. so i hope its blown cause while its out i am going to tell them to port it and put in a new clutch and flywheel and TPS then i get it back and i am set. so i am pretty pissed right now. what are anyone else's opinion on this? do any of you think its blown? i mean the car shakes real hard and wont stay on unless i keep my foot on the gas.

see the bad thing about water is that it DOESN'T compress... so when you try to squeeze it in a combustion chamber, the water has to go somewhere. It usually goes the weakest route.
Oh, and water in the motor is DEFINETLY not covered under the warranty..
