Branson just shattered the English Channel record in one of these, crossing in just 1 hour, 40 minutes! (article here)

Hey, what the heck, since our little boats can serve dual purpose, why can't our cars?

For more information, including a picture of one of these towing a skier, see their website here. This thing is really neat!

Hey that puppy even tows a water skier. All it needs is sails and wings. Oh yea, its got to be a submarine too!

That looks like one really cool car!

The Gibbs Aquada, which sells for $115,000, can reach speeds of 100 mph on land and 30 mph on water - not too shabby!

Can you imagine the look on people's faces when you hit the boat landing with that thing. :D

Can it tow a 26x (on the trailer)? :)

Pretty impressive vehicle, but if salted roads tear up our cars, what would a full salt bath do?

Jesse James tried something similar on Monster Garage last week - failed miserably. They tried to convert a Miata(?) into a jetski, but their air scoop for the engine scooped up water instead.
