UPDATE May-4-2011 9:06 PM: According to the local PCA chatboard, where this Porsche is located, the owners efforts, while heroic, didn’t save this Porsche. We’re waiting to hear back from the owner or someone close to them to verify, but that’s what’s being reported on the PCA chat service. We really hope it’s not true…

Good news, the car was saved. The owner of this car live in flood-prone area, will installing a car lift in garage work?

Considering that some parts of the river have risen 45 feet...it might have to be a very tall lift.
