older VW's with the right tires can actually "float" across going certian speeds. Its more of a super-hydroplane. Pretty cool actually, driving across 6 ft. deep water...

Hes probably hydroplaing across the puddle. If you think about it when your hydroplaning it dosent matter how deep the water is if there is water between your car tire and the road. None of you guys have ever seen snow mobiles raced on water have you?

The cars that run across ponds don't run street tires. They have huge tires with enormous, paddle-boat style tread patterns. The cars that actually do this and this car are entirely different. I say that it either didn't make it, or it's a p-shop.

I vote fake based on that the shadows don't match, the reflections are off, and the lighting on the car doesn't match the enviroment.

Upon slightly closer inspection, it's a p-shop. Not even that great.

Its not fake. Anyone who can photoshop pics can tell easily. Look at the way the light is hitting the drivers side water, and then the way its hitting the drivers side of the front bumper. Perfectly matched, and the water drops at the bottom of the bumper. Also note the reflection of that white pole, the way it sits, and the reflection of everything else. The same, not fake.

I did something like that once in an '88 non turbo, (not intentionally though), and it choked immediately. I did get restarted later, but what a mess.
