How do I know? I did it once. Thought I had enough clearance to go the last 50 feet home to my driveway. The car died, my husband, son and I pushed it the rest of the way home. DH did an immediate drain of all fluids in the engine - yes, there was water in the oil - and replaced them with "fresh" fluids. That saved the engine. DH said it could have gone either way, that we got very lucky.

When Norfolk flood just before Thanksgiving, 2 years ago. My son's Dakota truck drown. So he replace it with a new Silverato with the biggest tires he could find. To me they look like something that should be on a semi and added 11 inches of lift. Now I need a ladder to get in the truck. I told him now with those tires he will probably float into the bay if he can not get above a flood with all that lift.
