One of the local legends where I live is about a man who drove his monster truck across the Tenn-Tom River just outside of Amory, MS right after the new river channel was completed. The Corps of Engineers was not amused, and the man paid a heavy fine for his little bit of fun.

The interesting thing, though, was that it was just a "typical" monster truck with four tires (instead of eight like in this video) and it floated well enough for the man to just drive across the river channel like nobody's business.
