Porsche Owner Saves 911 From Flood Using Inflatable Cushion



Wednesday May 4 2011 | By Harry Lay






A resident near Louisville Kentucky has saved his Porsche 911 from a flood caused by a rapid flowing river. It appears as though the Porsche owner fastened his yellow 964 to an inflatable cushion, and then tied it to his house to save it from being washed away by the flood.
The home was in close proximity to the Ohio River which flooded this April. It is unclear whether the 964 is a Porsche America Roadster (250 produced) or a C2 Turbo-look roadster. Regardless of what model it is, this car obviously holds enough sentimental value to be made its own life raft and Porsche’s slogan holds true in this case. “Porsche…There is no substitute”.

Why do the refer to it as both a 911 and then a 964?

Cool idea though.

911 is a generic term, often used to refer to the 964, 993, 996 and 997, along with their turbo variants.

Brilliant and by the looks of it the house is up a bit as well so maybe most of his house avoided the water.

And he even designed the house around a massive tree so his property wasnt going anywhere.:D

It's almost as if he was waiting for a flood to put all this into practice!:D

No actually the house was located 3 miles upstream and it's just washed up against the tree
