Man Watches Classic Car Sink in Lake
It’s never comfortable to see a man cry

Ever have something bad happen to you and everyone sees it? Like when you wipe out on a slippery surface? How you emerge, whether with embarrassment or aplomb, is up to you. But, if we were the owner of this Packard , we can’t imagine how we’d act, but hunches can be powerful predictors.

Out in Canyon Lake, California, a small community in Riverside County, a gentleman parked his maroon 1939 Packard on a boat launch ramp and then prepared for photographs of the classic.
However, the man’s pride and joy started to roll down the ramp and into the lake. Twenty feet away, the car was completely submerged. Soon, security workers contacted the property owners association, who then called the fire department because, at the time, it was unknown whether anyone was inside the vehicle. Several hours later, the Packard was towed from the lake. Riverside County environmental health workers were also called to manage the clean-up as fluids may have leaked and contaminated the lake.

It is said that the owner was “very emotional” – it doesn’t take Sherlock Hemlock (hey, Boomer, that’s a Sesame Street reference) to figure that out.

Maybe that guy saw this group on the internet and wanted to do a 2 in 1 with his car - make it a classic car and a classic boat at the same time.
Look over there, it's a ''boatmobile''.
Is it a fish? a submarine? No it's superboatmobile!!!
This is why you always 'curb your wheels' when parking on a hill. Especially if you have a stick shift.
In this case there were not curbs to turn the wheels towards, but he could have jammed wood blocks in front of the wheels. This happening replicates a scene in the movie RV, with Robin Williams.
If there's no curb you are still required to turn your wheels so your car won't roll all the way down the hill. You WILL get a ticket for it in San Francisco if you don't.
Okay, I didn't know that.
