Any car is going to sink like a rock if it takes on enough water. So 
when a car starts to sink, unbuckle your seatbelt, and roll down the 
windows and let water in. That allows the pressure inside to balance 
to the water pressure outside so you can open the doors more easily. 
Open the door, and then swim out. Just remember that the end of the 
car with the engine is going to go down first. Which if you were to 
have this happen in a DeLorean, the gullwing doors won't hinder 
egress as much as traditional doors would have.
