A Duckmobile??

We Americans have been acting rather stupidly lately, but the British have been no slouches in the thickheadedness department either. Right now in Britain, inventors are working on the "Duckmobile," an amphibious car that can fold its wheels outward upon entering water and then run through the water. Great - let's turn the world's rivers into freeways! And why would you need an amphibious car to cross the water when we have bridges for that? Unlike miltiary amphibious vehicles, which are spartan and practical, this civilian vehicle is pretty much a luxury car, a toy for people who can afford it - and are eccentric (alright, kooky) enough to want such a thing.

And oh yes, it's a convertible!
