I did actually think of Toado as soon as you said about drowning, but the vehicles reference threw me off. I loved your micro-analysis of the semantics of the word "vehicle" :lol:
The really funny thing is how u threw urself off after I said you ride things when that should have instantly made u scream "Toado!" :lol:

I guess you forgot about logs and turtles and crocodiles?

Or maybe you were just subconciously trying to give false hope to J-Golden before you crushed all his hopes & dreams of victory? :roflmao:

Delay of game penalty vs. Motorollin :D

Is it by Rainbow Arts?
Does it start with the letter J?
Was it released in 1990?
Maximum number of simultaneous players?
Do the puzzles involve words/letters?

Actually I think I did wonder whether travelling was a reference to logs etc, but thought it was too tenuous. Won't make that mistake again ;)

The fact that J-Golden fell asleep on his keyboard gave me the victory!  I could tell by his questions that we were both thinking the same things.
