not your typical incar vid

In case you were wondering what a tsunami would be like to experience during your commute....

As a non-swimming panic stricken flatlander, I would have been screaming like a little girl.

Yeah that's just crazy.

At least I know Japanese cars float really well!

Yep. I noticed some cars float better than others.

You're allowed to panic in situations like that.

I'm also taking notes of what floated and what didn't. Could be useful in the future.

Get of your car and die.

As someone living in a subduction zone, this is relevant to my interests, despite my sincere wish it weren't! Makes me kinda happy to live 650' up on a nice big hill, it does. I tell you what if I'm out drivin' and I see cars start to rock on their springs, buildings moving about merrily and pedestrians bracing themselves to keep from getting knocked down, my incar vid will show me making for high ground with all possible haste...

if ted kennedy had owned one of those japonese cars in 1969 he would have become president

I don't like how it ends.

Zing!

God forgive me, but I was thinking the same thing

I was surprised the wipers and radio kept working the entire time the car was floating.

it does end pretty scarily.. but honestly, once you get into that position... do you stay in the car and afloat and mostly dry and warm.. or do you brave the cold water with all the crap floating in it that can crush you and pull you under?

I think you best stay with the car as long as possible. I hope not to find out.

after experiencing that,

this:

n you bet the Japanese would refine it to perfection

interesting how some areas had fast flowing current whiles others didn't. Just the way the buildings directed the water I guess. I knew the water came up fast but holy E36M3! Not much time to bail out and run if needed. New in car safety feature...scuba gear.
