That was pretty amazing. WOW. I'm glad to know I'm safe if a monster truck hits my car.....

My bets are the diesels could survive the "Water incident" better than the gassers, since they have a different intake setup and no electrical requirement to keep running. I've gone 30mph through a huuuuge flooded section of road with about 1.5 feet of standing water on it, and the car did fine. I've gone a steady slow speed (10-12ish mph) through water over 2 feet deep, and it survived that too. Had they tested a diesel I bet it'd have made it through the water. (and the rest of the tests) The gasser's weakness is in the wiring/electronic components required to run....
