That's rough...I remember after Sandy seeing some pictures like this...one in particular of a 911 up on its nose in a house...you know that owner is probably still crying themself to sleep.

That'll buff out....

Surprised nobody brought up that gem already. Sorry about the car, OP.

It's your can right now, if you want to you can post it.

If you car is in Colorado- it will get a flood brand. Colorado will not brand for hail or if the vehicle is older then 2000.

Its not the insurance company that you have to worry about, they have to comply with the DOT/DOI- its what happens after the vehicle is sold.

Unfortunately since there is no standard DMV across all states, its easy for the "bad guys" to wash title from one state and get a "clean" title in another.

I live in Boulder and when this whole thing started I found higher ground to hide my car!

My Porsche didn't leave the (fairly high) garage for the entire flood.

Yeah some body post the VIN so a future buyer doesn't get screwed. In fact, we should start a separate thread for all damaged VINs as done on other forums.

They could take this flooded BRZ and make a real BRZ Submarine, since it's road worthiness is slim to none now.
