Certainly there isn't any better proof about why driving into a puddle isn't the best idea--unless you are pretty sure what kind of puddle it is--than this.

I came across this gem while doing research for the sink hole travel post. This mishap did not happen in the United States which would be just one more example of a stupid American story.

If you're wondering just what happens to your car if you drive through a big puddle and don't have to swim, read the answer to the question: "If you drive a car through a big puddle, can it ruin your engine?" at Askcars.com.
