Yea, they are cool but the maintenance on them has to be pretty intensive. Back when I was about 9 or so they came out with a car that had a prop and could go in the water. Problems with them were not bad, other than they were butt ugly, till you took them in salt water then all kinds of problems surfaced.
It would for sure make a really cool toy. Had a friend who lived on a small island on Lake Hopatcong in NJ, about 15 big old style homes on it, it was served by one of those poontoon ferries with 4 outboards that carries mabye 4 vehicles at a time for the 8 minute ride over, it would be handy in a situation like that. Wonder how you do oil changes on it, tough getting a live axle under there too But I like the look of it...

That's a really interesting concept.

Although I'm still waiting for my jet car that flys around...

1. Sorry, we won't be on the market for a year or so and it won't be a jet unfortunately.

2. You aren't driving your jeep fast enough if it stays on the ground.

One too many tall tale?

Just how fast must you go to cause a brick to generate sufficient lift?

Just ask a shuttle flight engineer.
