This is the car that I almost lost in the Sacramento river and my own life as well. I had launched my boat on the city ramp but did not know the tide was out - my back wheels got off the concrete into the mud and soon my back seat was under water. Had to keep the engine running or the water would be sucked up and the engine ruined. After an hour of trying to pull me back on the concrete it was finally done and the car - and me - were saved. I soon traded that car off.
