The car as a boat

Over a decade ago I was driving Samuel to the dog park when the heavens opened and someone in heaven poured a bucket directly on my car. By the time we got to the park the rain was over. I described the trip as 
- we drove until the road became a river
- then Samuel and I took out paddles and determinedly paddled the car the rest of the way

Tonight after work I drove birthday cake to a friend of mine with the intent of leaving it on her doorstep, ringing the bell, and running away. While driving there the heavens opened and someone opened up the hose on us. (Three inches at least.) When I got there it was just too wet to get out of the car so I called her and told her I’m going to eat her slice. ;-)
