Salvage Titles scrubbed clean by Sandy's Waters?

Flood damaged cars lined up in Long Island on an airport tarmac. Doug Kuntz, New York TimesWhat ever happened to all those flood damaged cars left after Hurricane Sandy's waters receded?  Apparently, insurance companies, after writing them off as losses, are auctioning them off.  However, due to certain laws, the buyers of these damaged cars car re-register them out of state, and resell them to customers who might never know they are buying a flood damaged vehicle!  Read the entire report in the New York Times

Honda vs. Sandy: Honda FTW

This Accord seems remarkably unfazed by the massive tree trunk that landed upon it with a sickening crash last night.  I snapped this photo this morning about a block from my house.  We're safe and sound here at Automobiliac HQ, but some folks are definitely having some bad luck in other parts of the city.
