that was awesome
i took my cross country swimming one night when i was visiting family in Louisiana.
didn't do the big splash down, but the water did come over the top of the hood.
there was at least 2.5-3 foot of water in the road.

It's Burt Reynolds...I'm sure he can replace it easily.

Anyone remember that scene in Smokey and the Bandit where he drives through the river?

No-but I remember him driving through a hedge row onto a ball filed-if you look carefully you can see the CB antenna sliding right off the roof and it's magically back on a second later!! I think they used 30+ cars on that movie
