The Porsche 944 Isn't A Boat, Silly

You’d think it would have been pretty obvious to the driver of this Porsche 944 in Lynn, Massachusetts that the floodwater ahead of them was perilously deep. But regardless, they ploughed on, and the inevitable happened - the 944 got stuck.
National Weather Service Boston advised people against trying to drive through flood water when flash flooding hit the Lynn area at the weekend, and for good reason. You can’t always tell how deep it is, and once you’re floating, there’s the risk of being carried off.
In the case of the 944, fortunately it looks like the car wasn’t moving anywhere fast, so hopefully they would have been safely extracted, contemplating what not to do next time…

He picked the wrong one, silly.
It would’ve been a lot funnier if the car would have been a Nissan cube
😭 That’s one of my favorite Porsches slowly dying in the flood
He didnt go slow enough, the water got in the intake and killed it,still no excuse to try getting over a flood in a low sportscar
Smells a bit like insurance fraud to me…
That’s actually a 924 not a 944. Notice there’s no boxer flairs hence 924. And I agree that this guy was going in to the water with too much confidence which def smells of insurance fraud. Take note Progressive!
Chose the wrong car.. Silly people
Should have had a landcruiser
Lynn, Lynn, the city of sin
