I used to have a dream periodically where we kids are in my dad's DeSoto Suburban and the road gradually approaches a lake. The lake, of course, is infinitely deep, judging by the reflection of the sky on the surface.

But my dad proceeds slowly to drive into the lake, to the chagrin of my mother.

My siblings have had the same dream. It must have been a real event, with water over the road.

My dad must have accurately judged the depth of the water, because we all got through.

The evening news these days will show the stranded vehicles of folks who misjudged the depth of the water over the road, or drove too fast and shorted the ignition.

That is something I forgot. Did you install pontoons on your big butt? When you start the engine bet it goes Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang:cool:

Sorry Don..nothing chitty about my car....lol Beside pontoons are quite bulky and would block access to getting in the car...so went for hydrafoils instead.

actually, we like to go down to the bigger crick, stand in the water where it comes over the road and spear carp...some of them suckers weigh 20-30 lbs. once in a while you might get a 3-4 ft. long gar...them puppies will bite...jb

in Northern O-ME-HAAAAA during the big rain the other night. Boy was that a pail dumper of cats and dogs and puppy dog tails. Never saw a street flood over and couldnt shed water fast enough,,,up half way,, on a steep sidehill. in a new subdivision. Close to da airport where they said they got 6.5 inches. Driving down the street you find a low spot and need oars. hard to see late at night in the middle of a bucket dumper!!
