And if this paddlewheel device was inflatable, then when you got
across little puddle, you could fold it up, stash it in the back, and
drive straight on to the bigger puddle!  Need a few extra gas tanks,
though, to get across either puddle.

And if you and your friends drove this trip in beetles, you could
have your very own own beetle puddle paddle battle muddle! :-) :-)
