Once the car is in the water opening the doors requires enormous effort.You are fighting tons of water pressing on the outside of the door. Rolling down the window or breaking it may be easier.
Accidentally driving into deep water is a nightmare scenario one is unlikely to survive.

Yup.
A high school classmate got a brand new ‘67 396 Chevelle a week after graduation. Another fellow received a very nice ‘66 GTO and would stomp the Chevy any day of the week.

Me too, same age, cars we destroyed, Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelles, Firebirds, Roadrunners, GTXs, GTOs, and my AMX 390cu in automatic with no AC, used to run all out in a pal's Cobrajet Mustang Mach I. Seatbelts we didn't need no stinking seatbelts.

We were not hot stuff, just stupid. Small rural town in the south.

Nobody died. The caliber of our guardian angels was great.

I bailed hay for $1/hour. We got a free lunch included.

Hay is baled.
Water is bailed.
Stupid spell checkers and auto-correcting on phones and computers mean many posts and messages get garbled.
