I had a 57 Karman Ghia and had a 3/4 mile long dirt driveway in Western Washington. Often, there was a huge puddle about 1/2 way in and I'd have to hit it at 10+mph or climb out a window and push it to solid ground. The real experience was forgetting to shut off the heater before crossing! It filled the car with water vapor (fog) so thick I could barely see my nose!
