To his next passenger(if he ever has one), "I'd like to mention that, in the case of a water landing, a flotation device is located beneath your seat."

Similar event. I sold my uncle a mint '92 300Z about 15 years ago. He lives in the Florida Keys. About 4 months after purchase he was showing his friend how fast it would go after dinner and some wine(and a few hits on god knows what). I guess he got going pretty good down a long straight away on one of the islands and was too high to remember where the road actually ended and managed to hit the brakes too late to keep it from sliding off the end of the road, down a boat ramp, and out into the warm clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It's fortunate the marine patrol wasn't around to write him a ticket for crushing lobster. Definitely a wonderful family joke now.
