sax would probably float to start, but then due to all the stupid plugs in the floor pan, it would promptly sink

I went out driving last night, some serious rain coming down. Shot around a corner to find a massive puddle covering the whole road lol Slowed down and gradually made my way through it. A little further down the road I drove past a Metro parked up at the side of the road, it must have completely drowned when it went through the puddle lol
