: Who is the owner of this water logged E?
calvin13 05-02-2010, 08:25 PM Looks like a members E. What a bummer!
Ira Godsy, who lives in the Knights Motel in East Nashville, wades out to his car, Sunday, May 2, 2010. Most of the cars were underwater due to storms that brought heavy flooding and tornados to the region over the weekend.

I was thinking it was in Tenn with the recent rains. Poor dude:-(
TjankMjaster 05-02-2010, 11:22 PM The real question is,.... Did it start? :| cuz,... umm,... that would look REAAALLY good for the E. (I'm guessing no... call me a pessimist)
What a bummer.
desinia 05-03-2010, 12:48 AM Just had another thought while looking at that sad image. Does anyone know how insurance covers something like that? It wasn't being driven and most homeowner insurance won't cover flood damage, and I know that my flood policy wouldn't cover damage to vehicles either.
Dom.five 05-03-2010, 12:48 AM It's ok! You can hose out the inside ! :grin:

redbox 05-03-2010, 11:23 AM is that the stock sunroof? looks kinda big.....
ElementaryEd 05-03-2010, 11:28 AM Sad E. That would be tough to see my E in that situation.
ramblerdan 05-03-2010, 11:29 AM It does look really big, but must be a trick of perspective and/or lens distortion.

ORANGEE 05-03-2010, 12:23 PM is that an EOC on the back left hand side?
scorsone 05-03-2010, 12:36 PM I thought it was too, but I think it is a Peace Frog.
ReaperZune8 05-03-2010, 01:51 PM I thought it was too, but I think it is a Peace Frog.
Either that or one of those silly "happy family" things.
MikeQBF 05-03-2010, 02:34 PM Not us, but it easily coulda' been. :-(
The flooding around Nashville was a royal mess. We were in north Georgia en route home (St. Louis) when it all hit. I-24 was closed and we expected major issues getting around generally, so we had to find an alternate route home. Trouble was the route we chose was straight through record rains and major flooding in central Kentucky. More of the same, basically, 'cept it didn't close interstates, just the 2-lanes we happened to be on at the time. %$#@!!!! :x
Trip home took a day longer than planned, for sure.
ramblerdan 05-03-2010, 04:14 PM Yeah peace frog, I think. It looked like an EOC sticker to me at first, too.

slick 05-03-2010, 07:36 PM If he has a CAI on that, the pre-filter ain't gonna help. :x
Blue&Silver 05-09-2010, 03:35 PM That makes me want to get a snorkel on my E just in case lol
wickster 05-19-2010, 08:52 AM Just had another thought while looking at that sad image. Does anyone know how insurance covers something like that? It wasn't being driven and most homeowner insurance won't cover flood damage, and I know that my flood policy wouldn't cover damage to vehicles either.
with my insurance, i know that if water breaks the lowest opening of a door then its an automatic total.
protaganis 05-19-2010, 10:18 AM Most insurance companies (at least the ones I've spoken to) run with the dashboard rule, water hits the base of the dash (down about mid shin height) and it's totaled out.
