M35A2 Deuce under water "Watch this truck drive across the bottom of a lake"
http://youtu.be/ICKLGYs8CE8
"This old film features an M35A2 Army truck, known more commonly as a "deuce and a half." It was rated for 5,000 pounds of cargo capacity when off road and a 10,000-pound capacity when on the road. Talk to any military truck driver and they will tell you that these trucks survived being loaded with lots more than that.
The truck itself weighed about 13,000 pounds and sported a 478ci straight-six engine that could run on a multitude of fuels. It was used in a zillion different ways throughout its long service life with the armed forces. This video shows the wildest way we have ever seen.
Watch this truck literally drive across the bottom of a lake. We're not kidding. It actually happens. Complete with "mermaids" hitching a ride. "

Why not park it on the street.....obviously it's not prone to interior water damage.
