I wonder how much they pay for insurance, I’m in West Palm County, FL, at about 10 miles from the beach, haven’t experience a destructive hurricane in more than15 years and insurance is crazy expensive.
They're about as stupid as the people who live in trailer parks in the middle of Tornado Alley. It's called "Tornado Alley", and you're shocked that your house was razed by a tornado??? My wife wants to get a house on the beach, and I'm trying to fight and delay it as much as possible. That's not a liability I want. Plus, the waves are too noisy for my liking.
lived in a stilted house on an island off the west coast of Florida my entire life, even during the highest surge waters from hurricanes it's never flooded so...
@@systemspecchecker you realize the "stilts" are put there JUST INCASE that happens. Thats like buygin a car and saying i have airbags but ive never been in an accident...
@@KillaCamShepNerd You do realize a lot of places require stilted homes just to gentrify the community and keep the middle class out right? Like the island i live on in Florida? There has NEVER been an abnormal surge in my area in all of recorded history.
Plenty of warnings were given ! I've lived along the Ocean City , Md /Delaware Coast for years. It's a Barrier Island meant to protect the mainland. Shit always happens ! Outer Banks always floods
When you buy a house in OBX it doesn’t NEEEEEEED to be beach front... there are plenty of places on that island where you could park your cars and be worry free. Just saying.
If you're going to spend Outer Banks money, then get Outer Banks protection. Whether that is installing a pricey car elevator, or some sort of lift system that won't get knocked down from waves. We're also talking about a dream house. Parking your lamborghini on the second floor of your five story beach house is quite the dream.
Street Speed 717 Just one tip from a concerned dutchman that does get flooding in land..Do not take the risk man...not everything will be covered by insurance and it could go well years and years into the future, but it only has to go wrong ONE time and you’re done for..
You really need to start vacationing around the US... you might find a few hidden gems that rival the Outer Banks or at the very least give you some distractions. No where in the script of life is it written that you have to only go to one place to vacation. I'll point you to a few places I love; Northern Michigan is very underrated (Traverse City is a great starters point), Oregon Coast driving the PCH is amazing but don't be afraid to drive up the Columbia River (Ridge road not the interstate) and lastly take a trip to the Ozarks and the lakes region (get out from Branson and head out to the country, there are some very underrated roads in Southwest Missouri). The US is a huge country with so much to see, take advantage of your youth and go see some of it!
I agree they need to travel to other parts of the country. I am a fan of Montana, Idaho and Utah. Most importantly no disasters from the ocean in the mountains and very good driving roads for those fast cars 👍
@@metalfire4257 Getting up to that part of Michigan I would agree but I've always found the likes of M22 to be in great shape and a beautiful drive. Also the drive out Center road on the peninsula out to the lighthouse is fantastic... and 31 up to Charlevoix was in pretty good condition the last time I drove it. LOL, as bad as the freeze is on the roads during winter they are still better than that drive out from that house on the Outer banks.
@@RCPhotosVideos I have fond memories of eating ice cream up in Chief Joseph's pass looking down at the clouds. Montana and Idaho Bitterroot run is gorgeous!
Last year I was in the back of an ambulance in those exact same conditions, same place. It is happening at least once a year. Enjoy your time in OBX, it won’t be around long.
Yea he's overreacting majorly, "apocalyptic" 😂. All the homes are raised for a reason. Just alot of sand and silt you got to clean out in your downstair storage rooms and stuff.
Bro, you clearly have never lived along the ocean. After driving through that saltwater like that, the vehicle WILL have significant corrosion issues in time. Taking it to the car wash a day or two later will not save it. Even the same day. There's no way you can flush all the saltwater out of everything. As you drive through the saltwater it gets forced up into everything, places you cant get into with the wand. It might take some time, but I promise you stuff will start getting corroded and you'll have electrical gremlins. Ask me how I know! The best thing you can probably do is go drive through as much standing freshwater as you can to flush it out. Then again, you probably don't care since you'll be out of this thing before next year, lol!

Such is life by the beach bro . Glad everyone is safe . Everyone thinks it always a vacation if you live in the beaches (Myrtle Beach here) but it’s not always rainbows and sunshine stay safe up there !

I know your a Chevy guy, but I have a lot of respect for you when you mentioned how great all new trucks are regardless of the company, it’s totally true, I’m the same way when it comes to all new trucks and sports cars even though I’m mainly a Ford guy.
Mike just received your Save the Stick t shirt and poster of your c7 & c8. Awesome quality and this shirt is sick in the black and yellow. Thanks for a great products. Especially im in for the lambo drawing now. Take care brother.
My family owned oceanfront in Rodanthe from 1988 until 2007. Best times of my life. Sorry to say that you should get used to this. Back then oceanfront meant you had 100 yards of dune and sea oat vegetation between you and the beach. Hurricane Hugo in '89 is pretty legendary down there, really changed the setbacks. From that point on it became a struggle, eventually leading to unloading the property. Great times to be had down there! I just wouldn't do oceanfront again unless I was comfortable enough to be ok losing the house, because often they are considered uninsurable depending on where the high tide mark is compared to the house. I'm sure y'all will find something that is the right fit!
The Outer Banks is the 3rd most active spot in the U.S. for Hurricanes and Tropical Storms. They're just a little weaker because hurricanes almost always lose some of their strength by the time they get to North Carolina, Almost all the CAT5s (and even CAT4s usually hit S. Florida or the Middle Gulf Coast. North Carolina sees a lot of CAT1 - CAT3. But all it takes is a strong Tropical Storm a few hundred miles off shore to flood the Outer Banks. It constantly floods there. And it floods in the Winter from Strong Nor Easters that move up the coast. So smart move to move your car back up north. Also, the air at night is a salty mist that rusts everything metal. You don't have to drive on the beach to have a rusty vehicle within a year or two. I've spent about 40 years of my life living near the beach in several locations (now Florida). Just driving around throws salty sand under the car. And like I said, the air is very salty at night near the beach.
Heist over here talking about how awesome driving a new truck is awesome and so comfortable, I'm over here saying I miss my straight axles, lockouts, and floor shift 4x4 with 4spd. 😂 want a 77 or 78 power wagon crew cab. Lol
I know the feeling. I live in Midland/Sanford Michigan, about 5 months ago we made national news when the damns at both of the lakes i grew up on failed completely draining them sending 2 big lakes worth of water washing through our town and completely devastated our down town stores and neighborhood under 10 feet of water and 15-5 feet of sand and mud. Estimates are a best case scenario of a minimum 8 years before things will be back to normal with a very high possibility of the lake our entire town revolves around never coming back again.
Great video bro I can’t wait to see a video of you driving the c-6 corvette with 900 hp that’s gonna be legendary bro keep grinding bro and stay positive !!! But anyway love the videos bro god bless you bro
Man.. He's gonna have to sell a shit load of $25 shirts to make a few hundred thousand profit when giving away a $100k car. I don't think he makes that much on every giveaway, maybe some giveaways he has IDK. That High Country giveaway didn't even go on that long and that truck was not cheap plus all the sweet mods he did on that truck cost big $$$.. just the lift alone was $15k. That truck was lit 🔥🔥✌️
@@mrmuncheez374 a couple of hundred thousand people watching videos and that car was nowhere close to 100,000 dollars and you should learn something about merch that a lot of people talk about average of 10 to 20% of all people watching the video will buy merch so that's tens of thousands of people spending $5 to $50 each
@@dontgetoffended9524 ok, cool. You are right, I don't know much about having a popular you tube channel and selling merch. I'm pretty sure Mike said in a video he got that car for around $100k, even if it was $85 or 90k, that's a pretty good chunk of change to just give away to a random subscriber. I hope he does make a good profit on each giveaway, cause that means that he'll keep giving away awesome cars. Keep in mind, that Gallardo only had 1200 miles on it. The previous owner kept it in prestine condition and practically brand new, literally showroom condition.
as a person that grew up on the OBX the reality is that from organ inlet down to the Ocracoke it floods almost every year. I grew up in KDH on the west side of the island and in the past 10 years the water only made it to the end of our road. Don't be scared to take cars there but I would probably consider a different location of the OBX if you are worried about the flooding.
If you plan on trying to use a trailer to keep cars safe from flooding, you might get a 3 car wedge trailer because they are a lot taller and get way taller as you go to the front. Plus you could take 3 cars at a time and not just one.
Think the temperature reading is for your Transmission, not ambient temp. No reason for a ambient thermometer to read 300* and a regular transmission temp while towing is 180*+ for one of my trucks.
You should buy some land with a pole building further inland. That way you can leave stuff down there, and also you wouldnt have to worry about moving a bunch of cars in a hurry, and you could even have some emergency living quarters there.
Just for a bit of prospective. I have a friend that owns several homes in Avon and operates his businesses there. He doesn’t live there. He lives on a lake. He flys from the lake to Avon to go run his company. He absolutely LOVES the beaches and the community. He raised his family there for years and still spends a great deal of his time there. Eventually he got fed up with the flooding and the sand covering the roadways and decided he just wasn’t going to live there anymore. All his nice cars live at the lake house. He sticks with pickups and SUVs on the island. It is a great investment to get a place down there, but don’t plan on taking the cars.
Glad you talked about the turn signal thing our traverse does the same thing when in tow haul. Lol. You get six flashed. Also and im sure your truck does it to but when you put ours in tow haul it locks you out of 8th and 9th gear. Also increases the output of the alternator to handel the trailer. And when braking it down shifts to keep the rpms up to help engine brake.
I'll be there in a couple weeks, hope I catch a glimpse of ya before you jet out. I also hope that mess is gone by the time I get there and no other storms are planning a landfall.
Don't move around water this time of the year right now the weather is going crazy due to the tragic events taking place . Expecting the winter to be something we've never seen ❤ stay safe people ❤
Yo when we go jeeping on the beach, get it home and set a lawn sprinkler under it on the driveway and let it spray... move it around under there a few times and the under carriage is clean 👌
Mike I know your not going to read this but as someone that lives in NC, it’s never a good idea to live on a house right by the beach it always floods. If you decide to move to NC and still want the beach keep your beach house (if possible) and get a house 2-3 miles away from the beach. Why, 1 less salty air getting to your cars and less salty water, 2 less flooding, 3 it’s only 30 minutes to get to the beach and to your beach house.
Next time put your boards under the ramps so they can’t slip away. Just a idea that might help ya or save u some damage. The outter banks Is bad for that during a hurricane...lol but glad u did put it on a trailer!
Sand isn’t the biggest problem of what got all over the truck and Lambo, the salt is. Get them both really clean underneath and into any place (suspension, etc.) where the salt water could have gotten.
nobody prolly lost their home from this maybe some flood damage but that's about it , I live in Emerald Isle NC and he really just overhyped this video. I couldn't even tell you when this actually happened because it happens so frequently
So funny when watching someone learn something on video. The outer banks is no joke to weather. The beach moves. Mike go to the museum down there and learn about the area. There’s a reason you don’t see sports cars there. 😎
I live on the coast of Delaware and you better invest in some salt neutralizer for those high dollar rides and get some kind of sprayer for pressure washer to wash the salt out from under the vehicles and you can say people are over dramatic all you want but salt water is no joke. It’s not just the water, the sand has salt in it, the air has salt in it. You drove the truck and trailer in deep salt water, that salt will get into places to wouldn’t think it could and is super difficult to get out. I deal with it all the time with my dump truck. Had radiators and the support eaten away just from salt water
Same thing just happened in November 2019. North Carolina coast gets beat up a lot I wouldn’t want to have a bunch of expensive cars in the Carolina coast. We’ve gotten at least 4 hurricanes hit the coast in the last couple years causing a bunch of damage. Too much potential for flooding for me to live down there. It’s fun to visit and wouldn’t be bad for rental property but get all the insurance that you can.
I was in Avon this past week. It was insane. Rt 12 was closed north and south of us until midway Thursday. We stayed high and dry but a mile south of us, not so much. They had mini excavators digging the sand out of the car ports.
Oh man that could of been bad ! Glad you guys made it out safe and the vehicles. Like you said now you know that was a warning. Just bringing one car at a time is a great idea . Don’t want to have all your eggs in one basket I mean cars 😁
I’m always amazed that people are in awe of their beach houses being destroyed by the ocean in their back yard .
Right, no way I would have a house that’s literally 25 yards from the ocean.
I wonder how much they pay for insurance, I’m in West Palm County, FL, at about 10 miles from the beach, haven’t experience a destructive hurricane in more than15 years and insurance is crazy expensive.

Florida man here... I would never buy in the beach or near any real bodies of water such as rivers they flood constantly
I find it hilarious. There are so many lakes in America u could have a house instead of the OCEAN.
When you buy a house on stilts you should expect high water levels.

The news coverage reel always gets me shook how Mike edits it, idk why
"ONLY a 7 hour drive" hahahha
People thinking 7 hours is not a long time 🤡
I drive 11 hours everyday 7 hours is easy

Idid say welcome to hurricane summer/fall
Mike just received your Save the Stick t shirt and poster of your c7 & c8. Awesome quality and this shirt is sick in the black and yellow. Thanks for a great products. Especially im in for the lambo drawing now. Take care brother.
Its crazy have a house so close to the ocean. Sell it immediately.
My family owned oceanfront in Rodanthe from 1988 until 2007. Best times of my life. Sorry to say that you should get used to this. Back then oceanfront meant you had 100 yards of dune and sea oat vegetation between you and the beach. Hurricane Hugo in '89 is pretty legendary down there, really changed the setbacks. From that point on it became a struggle, eventually leading to unloading the property. Great times to be had down there! I just wouldn't do oceanfront again unless I was comfortable enough to be ok losing the house, because often they are considered uninsurable depending on where the high tide mark is compared to the house. I'm sure y'all will find something that is the right fit!
Never clicked this fast
The Outer Banks is the 3rd most active spot in the U.S. for Hurricanes and Tropical Storms. They're just a little weaker because hurricanes almost always lose some of their strength by the time they get to North Carolina, Almost all the CAT5s (and even CAT4s usually hit S. Florida or the Middle Gulf Coast. North Carolina sees a lot of CAT1 - CAT3. But all it takes is a strong Tropical Storm a few hundred miles off shore to flood the Outer Banks. It constantly floods there. And it floods in the Winter from Strong Nor Easters that move up the coast. So smart move to move your car back up north. Also, the air at night is a salty mist that rusts everything metal. You don't have to drive on the beach to have a rusty vehicle within a year or two. I've spent about 40 years of my life living near the beach in several locations (now Florida). Just driving around throws salty sand under the car. And like I said, the air is very salty at night near the beach.
Its almost like there a ocean in everyone's backyard that lives there.
I’m just thankful y’all are safe!!!
Thinking about all that salt you’re driving through makes me cringe.
Heist over here talking about how awesome driving a new truck is awesome and so comfortable, I'm over here saying I miss my straight axles, lockouts, and floor shift 4x4 with 4spd. 😂 want a 77 or 78 power wagon crew cab. Lol
Servpro it’s on it way like it never happen 👍
The intro with all the news clips felt like a movie opening
“In Pennsylvania you won’t have the ocean at your door step” huge feeling that’s going to age so bad
I know the feeling. I live in Midland/Sanford Michigan, about 5 months ago we made national news when the damns at both of the lakes i grew up on failed completely draining them sending 2 big lakes worth of water washing through our town and completely devastated our down town stores and neighborhood under 10 feet of water and 15-5 feet of sand and mud. Estimates are a best case scenario of a minimum 8 years before things will be back to normal with a very high possibility of the lake our entire town revolves around never coming back again.
get a house in FL I can tell you that there are a million places that look like the outer banks but 10x better
Great video bro I can’t wait to see a video of you driving the c-6 corvette with 900 hp that’s gonna be legendary bro keep grinding bro and stay positive !!! But anyway love the videos bro god bless you bro
Shit man if y’all think this flood was bad. Y’all should of seen Houston after Hurricane Harvey lol
Big faxs my g, we get that much water after 3-4 hours after hard rain😂
Jesse Garcia well we got that much water after 0 rain....? so😂
Welcome to the outer banks mike i have been here my whole life and this little storm aint nothing R.I.P 2020 DuraMax
At this point he only buys cars to get you to buy merch so he can make a couple of hundred thousand dollars easy
Man.. He's gonna have to sell a shit load of $25 shirts to make a few hundred thousand profit when giving away a $100k car. I don't think he makes that much on every giveaway, maybe some giveaways he has IDK. That High Country giveaway didn't even go on that long and that truck was not cheap plus all the sweet mods he did on that truck cost big $$$.. just the lift alone was $15k. That truck was lit 🔥🔥✌️
@@mrmuncheez374 a couple of hundred thousand people watching videos and that car was nowhere close to 100,000 dollars and you should learn something about merch that a lot of people talk about average of 10 to 20% of all people watching the video will buy merch so that's tens of thousands of people spending $5 to $50 each
@@dontgetoffended9524 ok, cool. You are right, I don't know much about having a popular you tube channel and selling merch. I'm pretty sure Mike said in a video he got that car for around $100k, even if it was $85 or 90k, that's a pretty good chunk of change to just give away to a random subscriber. I hope he does make a good profit on each giveaway, cause that means that he'll keep giving away awesome cars.
Keep in mind, that Gallardo only had 1200 miles on it. The previous owner kept it in prestine condition and practically brand new, literally showroom condition.
@@mrmuncheez374 I mean I'm okay with him giving away car to buy merch people actually have a chance of getting some amazing
as a person that grew up on the OBX the reality is that from organ inlet down to the Ocracoke it floods almost every year. I grew up in KDH on the west side of the island and in the past 10 years the water only made it to the end of our road. Don't be scared to take cars there but I would probably consider a different location of the OBX if you are worried about the flooding.
Yeah nah living near the ocean is a nope for me I stay in central Texas
Hell yeah brother
J M long live TX
Same here
Where?
If you plan on trying to use a trailer to keep cars safe from flooding, you might get a 3 car wedge trailer because they are a lot taller and get way taller as you go to the front. Plus you could take 3 cars at a time and not just one.

Think the temperature reading is for your Transmission, not ambient temp. No reason for a ambient thermometer to read 300* and a regular transmission temp while towing is 180*+ for one of my trucks.
Rethinking that future Outer Banks house purchase yet? :)
Out of all your cars the c6 zr1 is my favorite cant beat that beauty , especially in silver !
What up with the corrado door at 11:16
Shane must have been on the sauce when he said that one was finished 😆 🤣 😂 😹
I thought I was the only one who saw that 😂
CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT VIDEO NOW
Imagine if the zr1 was down there
I would’ve been so hurt although it’s not my car but damn
You should buy some land with a pole building further inland.
That way you can leave stuff down there, and also you wouldnt have to worry about moving a bunch of cars in a hurry, and you could even have some emergency living quarters there.
It’s a foolish man who builds he’s house upon the sand or something like that
First it’s a 90 k cash offer now it’s 85 k lol, but I think the C8 is off the LMR again for tuning
This is exactly why I wouldn't live on a beach property!
Just for a bit of prospective. I have a friend that owns several homes in Avon and operates his businesses there. He doesn’t live there. He lives on a lake. He flys from the lake to Avon to go run his company. He absolutely LOVES the beaches and the community. He raised his family there for years and still spends a great deal of his time there. Eventually he got fed up with the flooding and the sand covering the roadways and decided he just wasn’t going to live there anymore. All his nice cars live at the lake house. He sticks with pickups and SUVs on the island.
It is a great investment to get a place down there, but don’t plan on taking the cars.
Glad nothing major happened to you all or your rides.....can't wait until you do the c6 zr1 giveaway ;)
Glad you talked about the turn signal thing our traverse does the same thing when in tow haul. Lol. You get six flashed. Also and im sure your truck does it to but when you put ours in tow haul it locks you out of 8th and 9th gear. Also increases the output of the alternator to handel the trailer. And when braking it down shifts to keep the rpms up to help engine brake.
Buy a multi car lift. If you want your fleet out there. But also realize the areas roads that you would have to traverse to get to “nicer” roads.
Outer banks is always an awesome place to be!
When it’s not flooded
Dude... it’s hurricane season and you’re on an island?! Come on man haha
I'll be there in a couple weeks, hope I catch a glimpse of ya before you jet out. I also hope that mess is gone by the time I get there and no other storms are planning a landfall.
Lived in Raleigh NC for 36 years now...don't buy there as we hear this ALL THE TIME! Buy inland OR just visit..., LOVE your channel!! God Bless!
Don't move around water this time of the year right now the weather is going crazy due to the tragic events taking place . Expecting the winter to be something we've never seen ❤ stay safe people ❤
Yo when we go jeeping on the beach, get it home and set a lawn sprinkler under it on the driveway and let it spray... move it around under there a few times and the under carriage is clean 👌
That c6 is my favorite car you have ever had can't wait for the next video
Mike I know your not going to read this but as someone that lives in NC, it’s never a good idea to live on a house right by the beach it always floods. If you decide to move to NC and still want the beach keep your beach house (if possible) and get a house 2-3 miles away from the beach. Why, 1 less salty air getting to your cars and less salty water, 2 less flooding, 3 it’s only 30 minutes to get to the beach and to your beach house.
Next time put your boards under the ramps so they can’t slip away. Just a idea that might help ya or save u some damage. The outter banks Is bad for that during a hurricane...lol but glad u did put it on a trailer!
Sand isn’t the biggest problem of what got all over the truck and Lambo, the salt is. Get them both really clean underneath and into any place (suspension, etc.) where the salt water could have gotten.
Excited to see more with the C6 ZR1!
Stay strong everyone who lost their home, I pray everyone recovers
nobody prolly lost their home from this maybe some flood damage but that's about it , I live in Emerald Isle NC and he really just overhyped this video. I couldn't even tell you when this actually happened because it happens so frequently
So funny when watching someone learn something on video. The outer banks is no joke to weather. The beach moves. Mike go to the museum down there and learn about the area. There’s a reason you don’t see sports cars there. 😎
I live on the coast of Delaware and you better invest in some salt neutralizer for those high dollar rides and get some kind of sprayer for pressure washer to wash the salt out from under the vehicles and you can say people are over dramatic all you want but salt water is no joke. It’s not just the water, the sand has salt in it, the air has salt in it. You drove the truck and trailer in deep salt water, that salt will get into places to wouldn’t think it could and is super difficult to get out. I deal with it all the time with my dump truck. Had radiators and the support eaten away just from salt water
Same thing just happened in November 2019. North Carolina coast gets beat up a lot I wouldn’t want to have a bunch of expensive cars in the Carolina coast. We’ve gotten at least 4 hurricanes hit the coast in the last couple years causing a bunch of damage. Too much potential for flooding for me to live down there. It’s fun to visit and wouldn’t be bad for rental property but get all the insurance that you can.
I was in Avon this past week. It was insane. Rt 12 was closed north and south of us until midway Thursday. We stayed high and dry but a mile south of us, not so much. They had mini excavators digging the sand out of the car ports.
Oh man that could of been bad ! Glad you guys made it out safe and the vehicles. Like you said now you know that was a warning. Just bringing one car at a time is a great idea . Don’t want to have all your eggs in one basket I mean cars 😁
