I'm pretty sure you can hear a kid crying in the very beginning. I don't blame him though, I would be a little nervous myself.

I never understood ideas like that....why make a vehicle that sucks to drive on land and water just so you have both in one vehicle?

Kinda cool, but what do you do with it??? Drive around and look for lakes to drive into??


I wonder how long it can float for?? I'm thinking if you had one, load up all your fishing gear and some booze/food in the rear seat, drive to a lake, drive in, and spend a few hours fishing...then drive out and head home. No need to tow a boat to the lake although a specialized fishing boat would be much more practical
