I ain't denying that we've had a lot of rain in the South, but I was insulted when that Coast Guard fella pulled me over and ticketed me for not having a life jacket in the truck.

Well, there was the time back in the '80s when I was travelin' down CA99 just north of Nord and there was so much water goin' across the road that my ol' Baja Bug had just enough momentum to float across the flooded parts and stay in my lane. My bow wave was enough to push a guy headin' north out of his lane and into the flooded ditch. Japanese cars don't seem to float as well as an old VW. Fortunately it was only about 75 yards from a fire station and they rolled the engine close enough to pull him out.

That's a familiar tale on old VWs. I had a '61 and a '68 at various times and I think it might have been the '61 that I floated across a large flooded area of a street in Memphis. As long as you have a little momentum and you only give it a little gas, you can get maybe 40-50 feet. That's the only time I remember having an amphibious vehicle ;-)
