It has been raining here in the Tampa Bay Area for over a week now and the ground and storm run off ponds are full and last night we got somewhere between 6 & 8 + inches. Roads are flooded throughout the area and every local government has been tell everyone to stay home and off the roads. I guess this guy did not get the message.

It looks like a C5 but could be a C6. Not sure what the driver was thinking.

I wonder how many more feet that car went forward before the engine flooded and the driver had to exit and wade through the water.

I also wonder how fast that vette will be up for sale to some unsuspecting buyer.

Also looks like a convertible. Think the engine is hydrolocked?

Geez, I didn't even see the car until you mentioned it later in the post. I was focused on the truck.

Don't buy any used cars from Tampa. Cars floating and under water everywhere.

Just south of Tampa myself my vette has not been out in a month. Not a millionaire and treat car that way. Much money for repair and respect for it keeps it looking great.

There just has to be a time and place for that moron!
