Driving instructions

[Phil Waterman]

I like the bit “From the moment the vehicle touches the surface of the water, the accelerator will be pushed hard down and kept hard down until the shore is reached.” Now I would read this as floor it, my question is how long will a FORD or CHEVY hold together at full unloaded throttle in first gear? Or with all of the deepwater wading extensions on the intake is it like an old VW that just could not get enough air to blow up?
