Even if it can definitely float
it cannot float indefinitely.
For years, there have been rumors about floating Volkswagens.
Why not?
The bottom of the Volkswagen isn’t like any ordinary car bottom. A sheet of flat steel runs underneath the VW, sealing the bottom fore and aft.
That’s not done to make a bad boat out of it, just a better car. The sealed bottom protects a VW from water, dirt, mud. And all other nasty things on the road that eat up a car.
The top part of the VW is also very sea worthy. It’s practically airtight. So airtight that it’s hard to close the door without rolling down the window just a little bit.
But there’s one thing to keep in mind if you drive a VW. Even if it could definitely float, it certainly couldn’t float indefinitely.
So drive around all those puddles but stay away from the big ones, especially if they’re big enough to have a name.
