Stands for 'Wrangler in water'. I had my 1st ever witnessing to a tow vehicle submerging at our local small ramps. We we're driving to diner w/cousins and showing them the little park in our neighborhood when i saw a Whaler type boat floating free and low in the lagoon. So I swing around the car and see the roof of a Jeep up to the windshield adn a kid swimming to the ramp and then stumbling on the ramp slime trying to get onshore. A couple cuties in bikinis standing around looking glum and a pal already onshore.
I heard him exclaim that the E=brake on the jeep gave out and in they went while trying to load the boat.. He then went back in to board the boat and managed to submerge that over the engine but it had + sandwich flotation and didn't go down. They didn't want help so we buggered off just as a stern looking cop drove up. Styrofoam cups in the water made us all conclude that alcohol was involved-and hormones no doubt. Oh, to have a camera available!
They were still there 2 hours later after dinner with the boat in water and the trailer alone on the ramp. I would have thought they'd have pulled the rig out enough to load the boat and then tow the whole mess out.
