If we had a dollar for every time we've seen an ultra-expensive car flooded, we'd have about… 10. Seriously, this doesn't happen a lot, and so we know we had a story on our hands when we saw this Rolls Royce that had been dipped in murky, sandy flood water, we knew we had a story on our hands.
This happened in Indonesia, a country that's been hit hard by one of the most serious floods ever. The people there are used to constant flooding during monsoon season, but nobody expected the water to rise so fast.

This Rolls Royce Ghost was caught out by the flood water outside the Bundaran Hotel in the capital of Jakarta. As you can see, the water has managed to find its way inside the car through even the fine panel gals of a luxury limo.

What's more, the Ghost is the lesser of the two Rolls Royce four-doors, but due to taxes, this one costs a reported IDR10 million, or $1 million. Ouch!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
