Oh no corvette driver driving through water covered highway!

My buddy sent me this video earlier in the morning . It's of a guy driving his C6 through a massive "river" in a highway in Michigan. Poor car...

I would have just waited or turned around. What would you have done?

I would not have risked it. Surprised he didn't ingest any water.

His problems might not be over, I would think in time he will have electrical issues.

Right. You would have thought that with water going over the hood, his intake should have sucked up a gallon or two of water. Even so, if he doesn't clean it RIGHT, he's going to have a moldy interior ... yuck.

Don't forget mostly highway miles as well.........


He did say that the road was taking on water at high rate and if he stayed it would have flooded. Dunno how much truth there is to that but it sure makes for a cool video. LOL.

It's one thing to be dumb enough to do it but it's another thing entirely to post it for all the world to see. Wish I had a deposable Corvette like that.
