NEVER buy a used car from Florida
Never. Ever.
Never.
Never.
Never.
Never.
Never.
Not if the owners say they've never been flooded. Even if they say they've never been in a storm. Even say they'd never dream of driving through high water.
I watched dozens and dozens of vehicles, Jeeps and Civics alike, think a flooded neighborhood meant a slight slow-down and barricades were simply an obstacle in a game. I got to see helpful volunteers, friends and family in pajamas, a [i]lot[/i] of tow trucks, 911, even - hand to God - a Fish & Wildlife airboat taking people to safety. After a while, the tow trucks simply lined up down the center of the unflooded area down the road. And that was just my little area.
