I agree! Mine has never left me stranded. The only problem is water in the transmission, but you can pull the drain plug, rev it up a couple times put the plug back in and your good to go.

I have had mine wet plenty of times, once it starts slippin you know its wet. Once its drained it doesn't slip anymore. I am still on the original belt.

Yep, it usually involves really really deep water, unless your going 45mph then it doesn't have to be real deep.
