Now we know what happened:
So what happened: owner wanted calipers painted, so they took all brake calipers off (except handbrake?). They still put it by the highway because there were more RS there, and it looks good. A mechanic got into the car, didn't realise that there were no brakes. What exactly happened after that is unknown (we'll never know) but the car ended up in the water!

According to the local media (via Jalopnik) the dealership claims it sustained "minimal" damage and the car will still be delivered... hopefully they throw in a free key chain.

The most stupid thing in a long time... They should have seen that coming.
Glad I've got a white car with no need to paint calipers.

Wow...what pics - we need more of them.

Now, I dig this color on the car. Is this Gulf Blue? I thought the company won't do Gulf Blue paints?.

AC, any updates on Mr. Froggy? It was like the momentum was building nicely, only to come to a halt.
