I carry a 4' section of clothes dryer flex pipe, and when it rains I use duct tape to attach it to my air cleaner and make a snorkle. You haven't lived until you hit 3' of water at 30mph.
Hold my beer bubba!

Risk = losing car, rusting the frame and all the other metal, possibly getting wet and losing life
Reward = Absolutely nothing but proving a point to everyone while getting to where you are going

No thanks i'm good

I am just imagining her last moments thinking:" I am a billionaire and I and dying this way?"

Her last thoughts probably had nothing to do with her net worth, brother-in-law, or even her sister.

In the summer time there are huge down pours. Florida is a tropical state... it has heavy tropical rains all summer long. And the Rains come very fast and heavy...without warning. The roads have high medians and large curbs in the urban city and extended sprawl. The roads are often poorly engineered and there are numerous low points at intersections and stretches of road. The roads are congested and cars are mostly stopped in traffic when the rains pour heavily. The low points can retain up to 2 feet of water. The drainage systems cant handle the huge amount of sudden water.

Not sure how much better I can explain this...you dont seem to have the capacity to understand what I am speaking about. It seems to be beyond your comprehension.

When I was growing up so many TV characters playing millionaires and billionaires were shown to have full time live in chauffeurs. I guess some of the rich still have them, but they don't seem to be as fashionable as they were 50 years ago.

Another way to look at it is how many times has that bulletproof glass saved a life? Maybe someone survived a drive by shooting in that car, why wasn't that on the news?
..

Because halfwit; that would be a comparative argument. It's like saying hey too bad the guy lost both is legs but our lawnmower has saved thousands in valuable man hours. No one cares about that. This issue is the death of a human being in a terrible circumstance.

When you die it's an "absolute" condition, not comparative. As evolved humans we appreciate that and express condolences.

Hey halfwit, you're talking about the value of a human life but go on to say that no one cares about a saved human life from bulletproof glass? Well what is it? Do you care about a life or not?

And its not my problem or anyone elses if someone is too careless to drive their own car into a lake. Its not the cars fault, its not my fault, so quit trying to point the blame

I was making a joke, but since you brought it up, it's a TSLA, not a Chyrsler. Freshwater is not going to rust the frame of most vehicles lol. (Any more than they would already rust from normal use that is.)

An ICE produces positive pressure in the exhaust pipe, as long as a vehicle is running and water doesn't get in the air intake... the engine will be fine. Now if the car was a two stroke.... not sure such a thing exists... but if it was, yeah, you might wanna keep that exhaust pipe from being submerged.

Oh, and about the glass in her TSLA, it's not bulletproof, but it is double laminated. Tough to be sure... but in her final thoughts, I bet she never considered the diamond ring on her hand which I'm sure she had, being a billionaire and all. One good smack and it will shatter that glass. Kinda like a broken sparkplug will do. It can then be kicked out.

I like such a mechanism.
It works in a dry AND wet environment.

But don't turn it when you are a mile underwater.
Because by then, the water pressure on the window would be too high.
