Oh dear. So bad yet funny

Whats more important is how this ended up in the news. Did no one die on Australian roads today?

I do feel sorry for him though. If I did the same thing Id be kicking my own **** for months.

Some one should got the jet ski and pushed it up the ramp a little. If it had the power.

I think atleast part of the owner died at that point.

Exactly, having up to 3 pedals (most probably only two) It can be confusing to know which one stops the car. Then there is that lever to add to the confusion, it's call 'HAND BRAKE'.

Shame it's a Ford in the drink. If it were a Holden there would be no issue because we all know that s*** floats!

You might be right,
But it should be fairly easy to tell that the salt has attacked the whole vehicle, there wouldn't be much left on it that wouldn't give away the truth, and by the time it actually got to the auction's the tell tale sign's would be well and truely there.

next time he has an accelerator slip he may kill someone...

fortunately this time, he only killed any integrity he may have had,
(and also 2 leather jackets and a curious shrimp).
