Pure genius

Post by jkm311 »

Not ENTIRELY off-topic, but I'm wondering if any of us would do this for our Vibes:http://jalopnik.com/5798491/EDIT: And now I know you can't fix spelling errors in titles. [Sad trombone] But, Millster helped me out.

Oh yeah, I'd do that. Or, you know, get out of there. Whichever works. To the high ground!

So one can surmise that the access road through the marina got flooded before he could get the Fly Yellow Cab out, so enter the flotations devices. Well played sir, well played."
