Lot's of rain and flooding up here in MA. Not my car (thankfully). What a shame...hopefully it doesn't belong to a forum member.

Tough way to get the bottom of the car cleaned. j/k, that causes pain just to look at. If that's a member here maybe if everyone contributes a $1 he can get a new interior if his insurance compay craps out.

Water damage vehicles usually will never see the road again. They brand them unreparable.

So long as the car is not started in water that deep he should be okay.

Makes me feel lucky, my 70 vert in a garage under the house saw 1 inch at her wheels, I managed to pump rising water faster than it could get into the garage. Hope we never see anything like that again, or before I build my new home with above ground garage (heated with all the man cave goodies).
