Ok, how does this happen? was she going 60 and took a nap. Serously tho, how do you mess up that much, when ur learning to drive, assuming that ur payin no attention, it'd still be difficult. Thats awesome

Seriously, though. The original bettle floated. They have an old add where the photographer put a beetle in a pool to show that the car was well sealed. They said it floated for over an hour before it finally sank.

Camaros must float pretty well to www.watercar.com It even uses stock door seals, thats pretty insane! Altho, it also uses airplane latches or somethin to put extra pressure on them, and I'm sure he sealed the rest of the car, but watever
