Mississippi Katrina flood cars

[SNDSOUL]

Several primers have ask me to take pics of the fields of flooded cars here, so here is one of them(there are 3). The field of cars is a little over a mile wide and who knows how deep? I stood on top of a flooded motorhome and took pics as I turned(sorry my camera doesnt do panaramic ) Pick one out for yourself they are going up for auction soon. Moderator, Sorry for using my gallery for non-nsx pics, but lots of people asked me to post these and webshots wont link to this site for some reason?? I will remove them shortly.

Damn, that's a lot of cars.

oh...for a second, the third picture, (the silver car in the first line on the right) looked like an nsx...

there is an NSX in there somewhere, its a black 93 and it went deep under water:frown:

"Never been in rain. Flood? Yes. Driven in rain, no."

Man... I'm speechless!?! :frown: I do see something positive though, outta the pics: capitalism at it's bests! A myriad of models, written-off, owners more than likely compensated fairly, etc. . .

For someone restoring an older car (needing a donor) or the need for a parts car for their current car, some diligence might turn up something special.

Someone stole the rims off the trans am! Bastards!

A friend of mine is talking about buying a TSX to use for racing in the Grand Am Cup. He's currently racing either a RSX or an Integra (don't recall) and its just not fast enough. A flood car is perfect because they gut and rewire the car anyway!

So is there a website where these cars will go up for auction?

Damn, that is an endless sea of cars. I wonder how many cars were flooded in this disaster alone?
