Ha! Guys are pushing a disabled vehicle out of the water, and some lady goes: "THE LAW OF NATURE DOES NOT APPLY TO ME" and drowns her car. (clueless, or normalcy bias).
LOL Petramala interviews the lady "I was in a rush! I have to get to work!" (and the lady does not realize she traded 30 seconds of stupidity for months of dealing with car insurance, getting a new car, dealing with a swamped out engine, etc. etc. etc.)
@ai6yr New for 2030 models: Air snorkels standard! Now rated for 3 feet of standing water! Includes water-penetrating radar to detect washouts in muddy flow!
@jkmcnk@hendric As the owner of a Hilux-based vehicle, I think that sometimes. (based entirely on an episode of Top Gear and my experience in a part of the world which is 4wd low everywhere...)
@hendric@jkmcnk Ha, I love it. Although, I think the whole finding-gasoline-for-the-vehicle problem indeed will be an issue (maybe not initially)... fuel refining being a "requires great deal of infrastructure" thing.
There seems to be a common misconception that they can power through deep water with enough momentum. When all it really does it increase the chance to hydrolock their engine due to the bow wave they're generating.
