Anyone can have a boat.
Let me say this one more time... under water freaking driving!! We all know how to make things go faster around here dont we?!? Just think about it man.
I wish it came in a hard top dry version with the scuba gear back up. I dont want to mingle with the weeds .

Snap!


That thing looked too funny going along without drivers, like a bug trying to find the pavement. Then underwater was hysterical, I couldn't stop laughing!

Has anyone round here ever tried diving in Lake Washington or any of the others for that matter? It is gross as in, you may find a couple of dead bodies and that thing doesn't move fast enough to move away from them.
And how would you explain you "treed" your car - underwater? That would be amusing to listen to the owner try to convince the car just couldn't clear it
