So, I take it that the world has been relieved of a real estate agent?
I think we're gonna need a bigger boat..
I think you mean a bigger bloat.

I see it only takes 1 barrel to keep it near the surface.
A Great White Tiburon would certainly take more…
I know that guy, he parks like that all the time.
Nicest Bugatti I've seen all day.
I'm pretty sure that's a Lambo, dude.
Set 'em up, knock 'em down. Youse guys win today's internets award.

RX? I could swear it was a Pacifica.
No its clearly a Le-
Oh, right.
I applaud your impressively subtle pun.
We try, we try. But honestly, I thought it was a Pacifica, the punssibilities just got to me seconds later.
Pop stars these days! It used to be a Rolls Royce in a swimming pool, now it's just an RX350 in a lake.
Hey, in this economy, we all have to make sacrifices.
No wonder it wont start. Its flooded!
Obligatory.

Wow he really took the " Wet look " to a whole new level .
So I just returned from The Pub, and by virtue of their half price special on Guinness pints, am feeling philosophical. So this is a brief dissertation on what makes me a "Hoon". I used to say this is what makes me a "Jalop", but like the Republicans it's the party that shifted, not me…
For two licensed drivers, my wife and I have four vehicles. None is particularly expensive or fancy. The newest is now several years old. Least among these, in terms of cost, reliability, acceleration, creature comforts and newness is the Alfa. An early '80s model, it is mechanically fresh but cosmetically needy. Amongst The Alfisti, it is perhaps the least desirable model. And I can't get enough of it. We've had 100+ degree temps for weeks now, and yet I've barely touched the A/C equipped behemoths at my disposal. There's something so visceral about the notchy shifts, the throaty exhaust note, the random rattles and shakes and the knowledge that every minute behind consumes precious MTTF that it's only by necessity that I choose to drive the others. Rainy days make me sad, not for the greyness but for the knowledge that driving the little beast would mean violating the first rule of the Alfa – NEVER put the top up. To me, that is what makes me a Hoon.
I +1 you for having just the right amount of pints that you're willing to bare the Hoon soul to the Hive, but not so many that you ramble on incoherently.
Dang, are you trying to steal the term hoon? Crap has this site stolen it already? Eh, might as well. It's sad I lost jalop for something to aspire to. Your reasoning is good for being a nibbler (that's what I'll call it I guess, wait Groening already took that one). I've got it, poofter! Oh wait… ARGH Lunker that's it.
Anyway reading things where people like you were enjoying old cars got me to thinking, "I've always liked old cars, I should buy one." Then everybody around me told me I was crazy. I would say, "But I know these people online, they do it." Everybody still thought I was crazy, but they stopped resisting so much at least, it's a numbers thing I guess. So thanks, enjoy driving with the top down!
For me it was that the first sound I made deliberately was brvrooooom-room, then incessantly my parents tell me. The first word I made-up was gumginy (my parents thought it meant car at first, but no it was hubcaps). My first memory is that of me sitting on my grandfather's knee on his tractor (or a bottle with milk straight from the cow from my grandma, same vacation). As an infant my god father would fly over the train tracks to make me laugh in his Volga. As a three year old I was memorizing car makes and models. When I came to this country as a little boy, a lady helping out told me I should learn some English, would I like to learn how to say, Hello? No thanks, the first word I learned in English was car.
While we're baring souls, I'm gonna come clean and admit that I've been seeing other forums behind your back.
Hooniverse will always be my international automotive home, but I have found the wonderful <a href="http://www.autoshite.com” target=”_blank”>www.autoshite.com where a lot of the protagonists are in my local geographical area. They're also clued up to the eyeballs about all manner of disgustingly unpopular wheeled nonsense, like Talbot Tagoras, Renault 17s and Fiat Regatas.
Listen, Hooniverse, honey, It's OK. It's not you, it's me. I still love you, I just think we're both better off having an open relationship, y'know, not disrespectfully, but this way we both get what we need. Shhh, honey, don't cry, I love you, you know I do.
OK, I'm sorry, I know I'm not giving you enough attention. I'm sorry. I can't see you from work anymore, and I'm trying to spend more time with Roadwork, but, you know, that might not work out anyway, so I can't afford to lose you. I don't want to leave, I don't want you to stop seeing me, but I want us both to be happy.
Everything's gonna be fine. Let's finish this wine and go to bed.
You bastard.
See, I knew you'd be like this. I should have told you after more wine.
Your lips are moving but all I hear is “I cheat on you whenever I'm bored at work”. Also, that was sheep's blood, not wine.(My phone autocorrected that to Sherpa blood. I should have kept it.)
Is that Himalayan Sherpa or British Leyland Sherpa Van?
If it's the latter, you're making me horny.
I had to look up the British Leyland Sherpa Van… I think it was the former, but the latter is making me horny too…
It was available with the ex-Buick 215 V8. Is this working for you?
Hmmm… touch and go with that one.
Aren't you two just so sweet?
Get a room while I auction the film rights to your romance.
You want in? You can be the littlest spoon.
See, you start off angry and then, as soon as you sense that you're getting what you want, you're all sweetness and light. It's gonna be a long, hot night.
Oh, right. Uhh… Shut your whore loving mouth!
Shhh, shh shh. Goodnight honey.
You've been so distant. Now I know why.
Prolly just a phase. I just turned 30. Weird things happen to a guy.
The relentless pursuit of immersion.
Eeer aaah. I hope the bitch could swim.

anyone else intrigued by the red ball which seems to be making its way towards the camera?
It's all relative. What's clear is that the ball is moving with respect to the water.
Option 1 is that the water is stationary and the ball is moving. This could be because the ball is tied to the car and the car is still moving, or the ball is tied to a moving object, such as a fish, or a perpetrator fleeing the scene. I find these possibilities unlikely.
Option 2 is that the ball is stationary and the water is moving. This could be because this is more of a river than a lake.
In short, no I havent thought about it at all. Why do you ask?
Because I have no idea what it is and thought that perhaps someone could shed some light, I assumed that as no one else had mentioned it, everyone else knew what it was.
Dudes, it's a still picture, the ball ain't moving!
Hogwart's isn't real, you know…
I am going to BLOW YOUR MIND:
http://diegoguevara.com/blog/2011/05/05/cinemagra…
I believe the store is that it was a stolen car that was dumped in a river. The buoy was used to mark it to use as a guide when they came back to get it out.
At least I'm pretty sure that is what the deal is.
Edit: And I should have read a little bit further down.
And here I thought the tide was going out.

The ball was most likely tied to the car by first responders so that the tow truck driver could easily find the car the next day, and so that no boaters hit the car in the interim.
The motion you see of the ball is most likely caused as the car is being pulled out of the water by the winch on the flatbed.
came here to say this.
You and your logical thinking, I was convinced it was a new Toyota safety feature – the floating buoy/distress transponder.
Ahhh, so it is just a marker buoy, cheers mate.
There's something fishy about this.

James Bond family vacation, they're headed to Wally World!
