Default Anybody seen this for modern cars?

Hi Lang


With all of the flooding we are seeing this spring in the US wonder how long it will be before you will see intake snorkels and exhaust extensions on modern cars as an option.


Can just see the first instruction- Remove large drain plug and open doors before driving your car on flooded roads. This is to ensure the car sinks and traction is maintained.


Cheers Phil

Nothing too modern, but something like this?

Default Great way to wash the mud off

Hi Owen

Good one, remember seeing still photos of these test in Popular Mechanics or Popular Science as a kid in the 1950s.

Cheers Phil
