Submarine Car
What's the first thing you think of looking at this photo?
This recent picture released by Swiss car maker Rinspeed shows people aboard Rinspeed's new model, the sQuba, the world's first real submersible car that will be presented at the 2008 Geneva car show in March. The zero-emission electric sports car, with power supplied by rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries, can perform a submerged stabile flight at a depth of 10 meters.

Reminds me a a couple of pretty ingenious Cubans that came up with a less sleek but more functional design some years ago.

I'm gonna get one of these and bypass the Key Biscayne and Miami Beach traffic.

How long before we see old Chevys and Ladas reconfigured to be submarines? Given the Cuban spirit of ingenuity, it probably won't take long.

Maybe some fast-boat human smugglers will get a hold of these and save some lives along the FL straits.
