And personally, I plan on never driving any car through a flooded area. Not because I fear it will catch fire, but because I don't want the engine to die from being exposed to too much water.

yeah it does actually, like the guy above me posted hybrid systems use 300 volts of pure unadulterated arkansas white lightning which is considerably more dangerous when exposed than your average gasoline machine.
