Although the same can't be said for your business partner's car though, can it?

i hope that isn't salt water..... they are nice cars.. submerging into sea water is almost certain death.

i hope his rear door seals are good!
(there is a sound dampening insulation carpet under the rear compartment, it takes about 50L of water up if it gets the chance, how do i know? Bad seals on window.)
