oh man, I have to reinspect those flood cars sometimes, they make there way into georgia and florida, fresh water damage dosnt usaully destory them its the salt water damaged ones they will drive fine for a while then die as all the connections slowly corrode away, I have sent about 100 to the junk yards as total losses after somebody bought them! big nasty headache!

How do they make it up for sale without a "Branded" title?
