Maybe he was drunk. Maybe he was stupid. Maybe it was a 16 year old in a hurry to get the car home and back in the garage before his dad got home from date night.......

Wonder if the electronics will ever work properly after that. That car will be repaired and released on some unsuspecting individual.

mightymike I live very near to you in 44044. I think I saw that car at the Power Piston Show.

Should probably tell all watching that some areas here had over 4" of rain in one hour. Not defending driver but this really could have been a flash flood of water coming down the hill. Should not have been driving that night.

Look for us. CG convertible GREY RAY

I used to be an insurance adjuster. Amazing the amount of cars that get driven into standing water and hydrolocked to get out of payments. Can't tell them they're lying and insurance does cover stupid.

I wish I knew more but my buddy that works on a local fire dept sent this to me without any details . Yes the weather has been horrible with flash flooding and storms . This most likely happened at night with low visibility
