I drove my 83 LTD into water over the hood. I thought it was only about 6in deep, but as I drove in it droped off. Not a good feeling seeing your headlights go under. I threw it in rev and tried to back out but it was to late, the engine just bogged and the battery ran down. It was like 10pm and 15degs and we were in the boonies. We had to walk a 1/2mile to some guys house and knock on his door to ask him to help. Fortunatlly he was really nice and had a 4WD truck and some chain. So he drove me back to the car, as I jumped back on to the car my shoe prints were instantly freezing on the trunk. I stuck my hand under the water to wrap the chain around the bumper(it was cold). He pulled it out, I opened the doors to let the water drain out, hooked up some jumper cables and it fired right off. Actually seemed to be running better! When back to his house to pick up my wife and 2year old daughter, and never tried to go wheeling in an 83 LTD ever again.
