I thought this was kind of neat and decided to post it in case anyone had not seen it:
"The Aquada can hit speeds of 100 miles an hour on land 窶 and once it hits water, the wheels retract into the wheel arch, jets kick in, and the car is suddenly a boat.
Once waterborne it can reach speeds of 30 miles per hour, according to Gibbs Technologies, the British firm that designed it.
With a sticker price of about $235,000, the convertible has no doors in order to avoid leaks. Drivers and passengers must jump over the side to get into the car 窶 just like a boat..."

Too bad they don't spend that R&D money on developing more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly alternatives to what we use now (but I digress)... That being said, I still want one! 8-p
