A guy in my boyhood home (a small town on an inland lake very near Lake Michigan) had one of those -- an awful light greenish-blue colored thing. I always chuckled seeing the two tiny little propellers on it as he drove by... I remember seeing him drive it into the water at a boat launching ramp a few times and watch it struggle to just make much headway as it bobbed around.
It was a crappy car and equally crappy boat. I think that says something about dual-use products in general, especially when the two operating environments are not that similar. How many flying cars (predicted in the 50's and early 60's to be all the rage by now) do you see around? ;) Matt Pobursky Maximum Performance Systems On Thu, 7 Feb 2002 13:03:51 -0600, Ted Tontis wrote: >In the 50's there was a car that was also a boat.
