@Sporky McGeuschky I mean, anything is possible

The driver has been identified as Rosco P. Contrane of Hazzard county

Hah good reference!

Ditching a stolen vehicle?

Indeed, thats a possibility. I'm sure time will tell, between here/reddit/FB groups I bet the story comes out.

No license plate, so yeah methinks stolen.

What a shame

I'll buy the flood damaged girl and use her as a project car, $2 take it or leave it

Let's be real. My Wrangler wouldn't even get close.
Fun to fantasize about such a capability, though.
VW Thing, anyone?

Dangit, man.
That stings.

A moment of silence for this poor car

Simple back story:

Young Joel, with his parents on vacation, decides to take his dad’s FL5 out for a cruise with his “girl friend”. Leaves car on an incline at boat dock in gear as they get out to talk. Girl forgets her jacket and goes back to FL5 to retrieve and accidentally puts car in neutral and locks the door. Car starts to slowly roll toward the water and Joel, in a panic tries desperately to “slow the roll”, ultimately jumping spread eagle on the hood. Miraculously the car comes to rest at the end of the wooden dock. All is saved

Then, the dock collapses and the car completely submerges.

Joel has car towed to local Honda dealer who asks “who’s the U-boat commander?”

Should have made a movie about it……

p.S, Plot hole: keys could not be locked in car.

Was there ever a better name for a car?! I love the German language.
