Okay, I have to confess, this happened to me about 7 years ago. I was fishing with my uncle (who is a paraplegic), and when I went ashore to get his car (a late model Acura Legend) and trailer, me, the car, and trailer backed down the ramp, but only I emerged a few minutes later.
I eased it down the ramp and came to a stop, but I could feel the car begin to slide backwards with my foot still fully on the brake pedal and just about to put it in park. The ramp was completely wet and had green stuff (algae?) growing on it. Of course, I tried to give it some gas, to no avail. My uncle was stuck on the boat for a couple of hours, as his wheelchair was in the trunk of the Acura Legend, now 20+ feet underwater. It was weird how the Legend floated out quickly some 30 feet from the shore before it began to sink, but once it started, she sank quickly. It took a diver thirty minutes to find the car in deep, muddy water.
I'm glad there aren't pictures out there comemorating the event. The mental pictures I have sinking in the car are more than enough memories.
