Exclamation News Flash: 944s can't swim.

If you had any doubt that your 944 could swim...I think this should lay any doubt to rest.

That isnt yours...if it were I would suspect much more commentary...
At first it looked like a flooded lot until I paged down and saw the 'shore' so to speak.

I'll say how awful.

Besides the "normal" water damage that baby is deep enough to have hydrolocked the engine.

Top ten captions: drum role..........

10. Women to instructor: "OH, the one in the middle"

9. "What do you mean this isn't covered under my policy!"

8. "I guess you CAN flood a fuel injected engine."

7. "Hmm... I wonder if I fixed the hatch leak"

6. "Well how was I supposed to know the E-brake was on the left!"

5. New post on Rennlist: "Can you guys help me figure out why I've got water on my passengers side foot well?"

4. "Thats the last time I forget to tip the vallet"

3. "Yeah Jane... I'll have to call you back"

2. "You did WHAT Craig!?"

Number one best caption for this picture is:

"Now I see why they hate water cooled Porsches!"

The worst part is that there's a Corvette parked across the lagoon and it looks like it's smirking. <img src="graemlins/oops.gif" border="0" alt="[oops]" />
