Well someone in another country is a year or two away from getting a good ol' Maverick.

Still gonna have a $10k adm on it.

I saw a upside down Superbird yesterday on the news, Evin if it was a replica would have been a huge loss. Too bad they dont sandbag Daytona speedway and invite all the cool cars of Florida in there for hurricanes. The high banks should be high enough.

That guy had a Superbird AND a Charger Daytona get washed out of his garage.

Visually nothing looks wrong. What exactly happened? Was the water higher?

RIP Maverick

that is really sad im in Vero Beach been here 48 years, I have never seen so much damage and flooding, we made it w/o damage just tree limbs and fence down I thought 2004-2005 was bad!!! nothing like that one ! we are praying for all in floridas mess.

That picture is enough to make us tear up. How high inside the truck did the water get? If it didn't get past the bottom of the dashboard, it may be fixable, but if it's over the seats & the motor then its' not. I know its only a Maverick, but we here offer our sympathy for your loss.

Because if they don't let you back in what might have $1000 in damage left untended could turn into $100,000 in damages with mold, more rain etc. When you cant get back in to tarp etc for 2 weeks.
I don't blame folks for staying but it is a risk

Did that water get any higher that what it shows? It don't look that bad for the electronics in the dash or engine bay. Even your door speakers are above that water line. Your tail lights should work as well.

You really need to get a shop vac and get that water out now followed by a steam cleaner to suck out deep moisture. Open doors and start blowing a fan across the floorboards to help dry it out. If the rain is all gone park it outside in the sun, too, with doors/windows open! Mold and mildew are your enemy now!

Really hope it ain't totalled!

That high would mean water still getting into the passenger footwell fuse box, all of the dashboard harness connectors that are typically at the lower A-pillars, the modules in the center console, etc. It might not even be a problem now, but let water (especially if it's sea water) sit in the wire connections there and there's a reason why flood cars are an electrical gremlin nightmare.

Unless it's salt water. Then if it got to the bottom of the undercarriage/engine, it's a total loss insurance wise. Because everything salt water touches needs to be replaced. Every component salt water directly touches is destroyed or will have performance or premature life failure.

Oh man. I’m so sorry. Hope your house is not completely destroyed.

OP, not sure if you covered this, but why didn't you evacuate with the vehicles, instead of staying?

I've lived in mandatory evac areas before and at that point, staying is just foolhardy.

Exactly! I hate to see this happen to anyone, but my gosh they said it over and over and over this thing was going to cause flooding. You cannot move a house, but you can move your darn vehicles. Mind blowing!

 

[Jah.]

Then you see people drive their vehicles on the ocean beach along the water line . They think it's cool to drive through salt water spraying it all over their undercarriage . can't understand it .

Agreed. I understand the argument that some don't have the means to afford evacuation (gas, hotel bills, etc) but I see over $120K worth of vehicles in this picture. Clearly had the means to take important belongings and leave
