Hondas DO NOT Float


One evening, camped at an abandoned gravel pit, a Honda whizzed by me and drove out on to a little peninsula in the pond. This little peninsula formed by a utility road into the pit is just wide enough for a vehicle and is partially submerged. Having gone as far as he dare, the driver decided to turn around. The picture tells the story.



After a few hours of hard work in the dark a pickup truck was able to drag the poor car out of the pond. After a day in the sun to dry out, the car was running again.

Until the next post: Read and understand all the directions that come with your vehicle before you see for yourself if it will float.

To test float your car set your Garmin or TomTom for: n 43 48.707’ w 121 48.736’ 4,340 ft
