A YouTuber has discovered that it is not only phones that get wet that are thrown into rice to absorb the water. Now, you can pour rice into your car when it gets flooded.

The YouTuber explains this using a flooded Audi sports sedan. The name of the YouTuber is Rich Rebuilds, with the real name Rich Benoit. He recently acquired a flood-damaged Audi E-Tron GT RS and tried to restore it and make it drivable again.

Surprisingly, he managed to do that by dipping the flooded car into a giant case full of rice. So, how exactly did that happen?
The YouTuber purchased the car at auction for $55,000, about half the original price of the brand-new Audi E-Tron GT RS.
The car only had 2,600 miles under its belt when the flood nearly destroyed it. Rich, the YouTuber, and his team started by doing things by the book, such as jump leads and a 12-volt booster pack.
Even though they did manage to see some progress, the car was still defunct because it wasn’t even starting. From the ABS to the chassis control system, nothing was working.
Rich resorted to the traditional way of fixing water-damaged electronics with water. So, he started by trying this method in the Audi. The crazy thing is that it actually worked.
First, he built a custom-made frame where he could park the car and poured more than 4,200 pounds of expired rice.
After that, all he had to do was wait. A few days later, Rich vacuumed out the rice and removed the car from the frame. Amazingly, not only did the Audi start, but it was also able to move under its electricity.
