That would never happen with my Jeep. There aren’t any lakes inside the repair shop.
“How do you watch a submarine race?”

Ivar’s History of Creative Marketing
Ivar’s was founded by Ivar Haglund, a Seattle folk singer who built the city’s first aquarium. The restaurant was founded because Ivar thought it would be wise to feed visitors of the aquarium seafood.
He gave his restaurants unusual stylings, modeling one of his locations after an Indian longhouse. For decades, he sponsored a local fireworks spectacular, drawing more than 300,000 people every summer. In the area, Ivar Haglund was somewhat of a legend.
The Underwater Billboards
Ivar’s began the underwater billboard campaign by announcing the discovery of documents from the 1950s that provided a map to billboards that the restaurant’s founder had sunken in Puget Sound.
Supposedly, Haglund envisioned a future where consumers would be driving personal underwater submarines and he had placed billboards in the Sound to get an edge on advertising to this submarine-driving demographic. Then, news broke that sailors had recovered one of these authentic billboard advertisements from the bottom of Puget Sound.
The wooden billboard that was recovered advertised a bowl of clam chowder for just 75 cents and was decorated with weathered paint and barnacles. Other billboards were also recovered.
Well, duh!
Apparently, none of Marion County's finest thought to ask the woman, herself, when she went into the water.
