They can swim pretty well with the proper preparation.. A 1951 Ford
pickup truck very nearly made it across the Florida Straights from
Cuba recently. And even more recently, a Buick sedan also nearly
made the crossing. They failed to complete the crossing only due
to interdiction by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Actually, I read that the truck was a Chevy. Uh, which obviously doesn't
make any difference. Gosh, I love those guys. I wish the CG would stop
sinking their cars. You know, there's 3 or 4 shows on the Discovery
Channel and such, for people doing stuff just like that.
