    @BЯдΖǐL-ЯЄРΘЯΤЄЯ: since the sixties the Porsche Targa is a well known police car on the Dutch highways.

    @Maxichamp: How come the biggest people drive the smallest cars? I mean, my mom is 100% Dutch, 6 feet tall, and buys the tiniest cars. Then she complains about how hard it is to get out of them.

    There was an old anime series called "You're Under Arrest", and the chief had a NSX w/Police Livery. Makes me wonder if this was the basis of that car.

    Either way, don't we have Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, and the CAPRICE?

    Sure, but this police cruiser can pull more than .7G on a skidpad (so can the others, but the driver's typically tend to lack proper skill in balancing coffee and doughnuts to pull it off).

    @Tomsk welcomes the Jezebanned home: I can heel-toe just fine using my heel and toe in the Talon, but have difficulty using the ball of my foot to do it in the Audi, as the gas pedal is just a little too low and close to the trans tunnel. Maybe I just need to get myself a nice pair of loafers instead of the Piloti's?

    I had to do this in my 350z once to get to a job. There was a section in the middle that was dry so I didn't think it would be deep. The first part was deeper than I thought and then instead of going back through the first one I went through the second one which turned out to be deep enough for water to go over the hood. Luckily because of a front diffuser not much water went into my engine bay and no water got into my interior or was held in the aluminum body panels/doors. I took everything apart when I got home to make sure. Needless to say I was pretty ticked off for having to ford a river, but I wasn't late and didn't get fired so I get to keep driving the car legally. I was lucky in the unlucky situation, and I will not try my luck again.

    As stupid as this guy is, if I was going to turn any car into a submarine this would be high on my list. Being mid-engined, he can bust through the water, much like the front of a boat would, creating a nice wake behind him leaving the engine/intake nice and dry. It's going to pick up a lot less water than a typical front engined car.
    Naturally if I had an NSX of my own it wouldn't leave the house at the first sight of rain. But, clearly, I'm not this douche-rocket.

    Uber idiot.

    I can say from personal experience, pickups will have the bed float, first, lifting the rear tires from the pavement. If you're lucky, the water fills the bed before it starts coming in the doors.

    I was lucky. Learned a valuable lesson that night, too, and at -0- cost, which is rare.

    The remake of Risky Business hit a snag in filming when the vehicle chosen for Joel's father simply drove back out of the water.
