   I seem to recall dirt bikes with some types of tires can also   
   hydroplane/ski across water, and I think Mythbusters did some short   
   tests with cars.   
      
   ------------------------------   
   I helped rescue a VW Beetle floating in a pond in a sandpit. The water line   
   was almost at the top of the rear fender opening. We were on dirt bikes   
   without much equipment, fortunately someone had line to pull it to shore and   
   the VW didn't weigh much.   
      
   I skidded my VW off an icy road in the Black Forest while trying to slow   
   down at a garage. The husky owner came out and lifted the rear end back onto   
   the pavement by himself, then sold me tires.
