Can you spot signs of a flooded vehicle?

It's estimated that at least 500,000 vehicles suffered flood damage just from hurricanes Harvey and Irma alone, and many of those vehicles have been fixed and are back on the road.

The difference between the two, one was submerged in water during Hurricane Harvey, the other was not.
