OMG That's incredible!!! With that much time on your hands, wouldnt you just drive your car to the nearest high rise parking garage, or something? Either way, glad to see the car was saved

Don't think he had time to drive it anywhere, and I think that's the garage door behind the car?
Yikes!

Looking at the house, I would imagine he had to make a choice about which "nice" car to save. Wonder what is still in the garage....

Cut the ropes and tow it home.........
Hope nobody comes in the middle of the night and tow the inflatable bed to a different garage (drier). I would say the house was already surrounded with flood water that prevented the owner from driving the vehicle to a higher ground. But I never thought about this ingenious solution. Remarkable concept. Thanks for sharing the picture.

No not me........that's a little to far outside the box thinking for me.........some buddies that live near this marina were surveying flood damage in the area and snapped this photo. The area is known to flood....and access gets cut off long before the water gets this high.............. No one predicted these water levels. If that was my car I'd call in the heavy lift helicopter.
