I saw this on instagram the other day....sucks to see this happen to an owner as well as that area of the country.

I am not sure if this is legal or not, but maybe once its been claimed by the insurance company the VIN get posted so at least people on the forum don't get shafted. So sad to see, but glad the OP is safe and sound.

If that's illegal, then the law making it illegal should be illegal.

I doubt it would be a law, but probably somewhere in the fine print of the contract you signed with your insurance and/or whoever took possession of the vehicle.

It would essentially be preventing you from potentially exposing some grade A fuckery, and that is not cool with ol' Anthony.

that is the one, but I did not want to confirm that because until this morning it was still sitting there unlocked. I didnt want any scavengers picking over the carcass.

Where was it parked, if you don't mind my asking?

If you look carefully, you can see a pile of rocks behind the car.

Those are the train tracks that run parallel to Arapahoe.
The train tracks formed a dam.
So that entire area was under about 4 feet of water.

I thought the same thing.
On my other forum '914world' there is a sticky for dead VIN #s

1 out of 5 stars
Pro: The 3 layers of "breathable fabric" did not harm the finish of the car.
Con: Did not "protect your car from the elements", as was advertised. Did not even protect against rain water. Total scam. Will not buy again.

Thongpocket · 09-18-2013, 01:26 PM

Where are all the other cars? And ask your friend if I can buy it back from the insurance company

Sucks. My house flooded in 2008. Lost pretty much everything we owned. I was going to stay one last night to keep the generator running for the sump pump but ended up leaving. If I had stayed I would have lost my WRX and probably would have needed to be rescued.
