if it is all closed up, it might escape with just some paint abrasion

if dry sand got blown into the motor...


should be a fun excavation for some archeologist

Yup. Once salt water infects the wiring, it's all over.

Then how the heck do you explain the sand formed around the car? It doesn't appear to be blown in place (e.g. sand dune).

That is a good habitat for a cayman. They love sand and water. LOL

Click on this link for a series of pictures from Hatteras Island during last week's storm. This helps to put the "drowning of the Cayman" in perspective.

The house which is seen in many of these pictures (17, 18, 19, 36, etc ) was in the movie Nights In Rodanthe.

Peppy, that car was the victim of ocean overwash.
It was parked at an oceanfront house when the waves, and tide got too high.
Actually the car was sucked down into the sand by the water. Think quick sand.

What do those homeowner's do now? Aren't those buildings officially "reclaimed"?

Didn't someone post a photo of a blue one like that earlier in the week?

I clicked through that thread, that was a really bad one!
