SpaceGhost Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Many many cars have been put underwater this weekend in the south. If you find a deal on a car in the south 90 days from now, chances are it is not a deal.

RyM3rC Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yeah, that's a good point. These will be making their ways onto the craigslists/auction circuit in a few weeks I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93fox Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 damn that's crazy! how quick did the water raise? How ever fast 2ft+ of water in 2 days can raise a river/lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Last year 33 outside nelsonville flooded when my dad and brother were driving back from Athens. A bunch of cars got flooded out/stranded but thankfully the explorer made it through, and got the best underbody wash of its life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewhop Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 This is kinda interesting Fluid Dynamics - Water weighs about 62.4 pounds per cubic foot and typically flows downstream at 6 to 12 miles an hour. When a vehicle stalls in water, the water’s momentum is transferred to the car. For each foot the water rises, 500 pounds of lateral force are applied to the car. For each foot the water rises up the side of the car, the car displaces 1,500 pounds less for each foot the water rises. Therefore, most cars will float in just two feet of water.

Xyster101 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 maybe this link will work: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/weather/2010/05/03/vo.tn.nashville.flood.more.wkrn?iref=24hours That is just nuts, love how the people are getting alcohol out of the flood. When you look at a car, you should pull the carpet back to check for flood damage. Most places can shampoo and clean a car up good so you can't tell it was in a flood. I heard that if you pull up some of the carpet, underneath there will be stains and possible rust from the water. This was on a warning that came out back when Katrina hit New Orleans also.

frenchy chan Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 i almost bought a flood car...we were really considering it, but the guy wouldn't lower his price at all, so we walked away from it you could tell because there was some fogging in the lights and mud and such in corners of the car where it shouldn't be....he didn't come out and say it was a salvage/flood car until my fiance asked about that stuf i was going to name the car "Oliver" from an episode of top gear, where hammond's car sinks in africa and he screams for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
